GitHub Gist Shortcode Plugin

by paul1999 on WordPress.org

Allows the use of a simple shortcode to embed GitHub Gists in a post or page.

Instead of embedding a GitHub Gist (a pastie like service on steroids) by copying and pasting HTML you can simple embed it with a [gist] shortcode.

For example, to embed the gist: 30948 enter this in a post or page:

[gist id=30948]

It is that simple.

One problem with gists is that a search engine spiders (and users with javascript disabled) will not see your code in a blog entry. This plugin allows you to get around this by including text, such as content of the gist inside the shortcode. The text is wrapped inside these tags:
