A simple plugin that enables a shortcode for embedding Gist code in WordPress.
The shortcode has two attributes, the Gist source URL and, optionally, the height of the embedded code window.
<pre><code>[gist src="" height=""]
</code></pre>
The Gist <code>src</code> attribute must be the embed URL, for example: https://gist.github.com/imaginarymedia/316a29936e5e7d709665.js
The Gist <code>height</code> attribute is optional and can be any value with a valid CSS unit measure: em, %, px, vh, etc. It will apply a max-height to the gist.
The plugin also creates UI buttons for both the visual and text editors.

With FF Block Gist Embed 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:
<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>
We would like to bring some additional features soon. Some of the things we have planned, are:
<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.
