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
