Entropy, The Blog

This simple Wordpress plugin allows you to embed a GitHub Gist by inserting a shortcode into your post or page instead of entering HTML.

It is very simple to use. After activating the plugin you can embed a Gist, for example Gist 30957, into you page or post by entering the following text:

will be replaced with an embedded Gist:

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:

<noscript><code class="gist"><pre>


You would use it like this:

[gist id=30948]
puts hello_world_test;
i = 0
5.times do
    i = i + 1
    puts i
end
