Formatting README.rdoc on github

Github has a neat feature that displays a README file, that it finds in the root directory of a project, on the project page. The README formatting page describes a number of different formats that it will render based on the file extension. I tried renaming to README.rdoc but it still rendered as plain text. The trouble was that the file was intended to be used with a full RDOC site for the source. When I removed the "link" tags from the file and pushed ... Github renders it correctly ... Hurrah!
