Hello,

I am using org-mode for technical documentation (server
configurations etc.) I use extensively the preformatted
text to show a bunch of commands or pieces of configuration
files. While #+BEGIN_EXAMPLE and #+END_EXAMPLE is OK,
it looks a bit awkward and a bit inconsistent with the
rest of the light and beautiful markup of org-mode.

I have no idea about how easy or difficult would be to
implement it, but I think that it would be nice to have
some markup like these:
--8<--
-->8--
instead of
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
#+END_EXAMPLE

Just wanted to let you know about this idea, maybe somebody
can pick it up.

Have a nice day,
Dashamir

You could prefix your snippets with ":", e.g., this is also a
preformatted snippet.

: /dev/sda1	/boot		ext2		noauto,noatime          1 2
: /dev/sda3	/		ext4		noatime,user_xattr	0 1
: /dev/sda2	none		swap		sw		        0 0
: /dev/cdrom	/mnt/cdrom	auto		noauto,ro	        0 0
: debugfs	/sys/kernel/debug    debugfs	defaults	        0 0

Bye,
Tassilo

And if you just avoid too much typing

<e TAB

will insert
#+BEGIN_EXAMPLE
#+END_EXAMPLE
