[github] How to add color to Github's README.md file

As an alternative to rendering a raster image, you can embed a SVG file:

<a><img src="http://dump.thecybershadow.net/6c736bfd11ded8cdc5e2bda009a6694a/colortext.svg"/></a>

You can then add color text to the SVG file as usual:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<svg version="1.1" 
     xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"
     xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
     width="100" height="50"
>
  <text font-size="16" x="10" y="20">
    <tspan fill="red">Hello</tspan>,
    <tspan fill="green">world</tspan>!
  </text>
</svg>

Unfortunately, even though you can select and copy text when you open the .svg file, the text is not selectable when the SVG image is embedded.
