What format to use for the README in each example?

[ChrisBarker-NOAA]

I put a README.txt in the example template -- but maybe that should be an MD file instead?

MD since if you click on it in GitHub it will be formatted nicely

👍 for MD

[ChrisBarker-NOAA]

multiple votes for MD so far -- I"ll update the example when I get a chance, unless anyone objects before I do :-)
