Testing Github-flavored Markdown / reStructuredText

md-rst-test.rst

Rename this file between md-rst-test.rst and md-rst-test.md to see the respective versions.

EDIT: This doesn't work. See my comment below.

Example syntax-highlighted Python code using a reStructuredText 0.9 directive:

def foo():
    return 'bar'

Example syntax-highlighted Python code using a Markdown codeblock:

```python def foo():

return 'bar'

```

After much experimenting, I determined that it is impossible to make a file have Python syntax highlighting in either rst or md such that simply renaming the file's extension will make either version work.
