<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>I plan on including the Transients API in an upcoming release…once I figure out exactly how they work. Otherwise, feel free to suggest.</p>
