# regex to match government emails. Should detect:
# foo.gov, foo.mil
# foo.gov.uk, foo.mil.uk
# foo.fed.us
# foo.govt.nz, foo.gc.ca, foo.guv.ro, gub.uy
# note: foo.gouvt, foo.gc, foo.fed.uk, etc. will technically pass, but they are invalid domains
regex = /(\.g[ou]{1,2}(v|b|vt)|\.mil|\.gc|\.fed)(\.[a-z]{2})?$/i

If your post looked something like:

# Awesome Blog Post

Here is an example post to show how to use the new `excerpt` tag.

The excerpt tag provides a quick and easy way to tease a post by exposing only the first paragraph such as on a blog index page.

Here's an example of how to embed a Gist on GitHub Pages:

{% gist 5555251 %}

All you need to do is copy and paste the Gist's ID from the URL (here 5555251), and add it to a gist tag surrounded by {% and %}.
