Overview
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.
[gist src="" height=""]
The Gist src attribute must be the embed URL, for example: https://gist.github.com/imaginarymedia/316a29936e5e7d709665.js
The Gist height 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.
