GitHub Gist WordPress Plugin

GitHub Gist WordPress Plugin allows you to embed GitHub Gist snippets with a [gist] tag, instead of copying and pasting HTML. For example, to embed the github_gist_wordpress_plugin_test.txt file from gist: 447298 , fill in the id and file attributes in the [gist] tag:

[gist id=447298 file=github_gist_wordpress_plugin_test.txt]

or

copy the embedding JavaScript code from GitHub and directly paste it in the body of the [gist] tag:

[gist] <script src="http://gist.github.com/447298.js?file=github_gist_wordpress_plugin_test.txt"></script> [/gist].

The [gist] tag also expands the content of the embedded Gist and wraps it with “ <noscript><code><pre> ” 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.

1) Download the plugin zip file.

2) Unzip.

3) Upload the github_gist_wordpress_plugin directory to your wordpress plugin directory (/wp-content/plugins).

4) Activate the plugin.

5) Use the [gist] tag in your posts or pages
