<p>GitHub Gist WordPress Plugin allows you to embed <a href="http://gist.github.com" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub Gist</a> snippets with a [gist] tag, instead of copying and pasting HTML. For example, to embed the <a href="http://gist.github.com/447298.js?file=github_gist_wordpress_plugin_test.txt" rel="nofollow ugc">github_gist_wordpress_plugin_test.txt</a> file from <a href="http://gist.github.com/447298.js" rel="nofollow ugc">gist: 447298</a>, fill in the id and file attributes in the [gist] tag:</p>
<p>[gist id=447298 file=github_gist_wordpress_plugin_test.txt]</p>
<p>or</p>
<p>copy the embedding JavaScript code from GitHub and directly paste it in the body of the [gist] tag:</p>
<p>[gist]<code><script src="http://gist.github.com/447298.js?file=github_gist_wordpress_plugin_test.txt"></script></code>[/gist].</p>
<p>The [gist] tag also expands the content of the embedded Gist and wraps it with “<code><noscript><code><pre></code>” so that search engine spiders, users with javascript disabled and users reading your blog through RSS will still see your code in a blog entry.</p>

<p>With <strong>FF Block Gist Embed</strong> you can embed files from GitHub Gists. It adds a block named ‘Gist Embed’ to the WordPress editor interface. For every instance of this block, you can:</p>
<ul>
<li>Select one or more files from the same Gist URL to be embedded in your post.</li>
<li>Include the vendor stylesheet that handles the styling of Gist embeds (see the FAQ for more information).</li>
<li>Choose whether or not to embed the Gist files as raw content.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Roadmap</h3>
<p>We would like to bring some additional features soon. Some of the things we have planned, are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Caching the content of files</li>
<li>Manually change the order of the files from a Gist within a block</li>
<li>Automatically get the list of files after a valid Gist URL is entered in the input field</li>
</ul>


FF Block Gist Embed

This block works great for adding Gists to your posts and pages.

However, it desperately need a preview option so that you can see the results in the editor.

But, otherwise, a fantastic addition for any developer wanting to share their code.
