Easily embed GitHub Gists in your Pelican articles.

Project description

Pelican Gist Tag is a library to make it easy to GitHub Gists in your Pelican blogs.

Installation

To install pelican-gist, simply:

$ pip install pelican-gist

Then add a bit of code to your blog configuration:

PLUGINS = [
    # ...
    'pelican_gist',
    # ...
]

Usage

In your articles, just add lines to your posts that look like:

[gist:id=3254906,file=brew-update-notifier.sh]

This will tell the plugin to insert gist id 3254906 and choose the file brew-update-notifier.sh into your post. The resulting HTML will look like:

<div class="gist">
    <script src='https://gist.github.com/3254906.js?file=brew-update-notifier.sh'></script>
    <noscript>
        <pre><code>#!/bin/bash ...</code></pre>
    </noscript>
</div>

If your gist has only a single file, you can also specify the gist like so:

[gist:id=3254906]

Notice it is using the id only. The resulting HTML will look like:

<div class="gist">
    <script src='https://gist.github.com/3254906.js'></script>
    <noscript>
        <pre><code>#!/bin/bash ...</code></pre>
    </noscript>
</div>

There is also support for private gists where they have the gist id that looks like e34db4c532a6cfa1f711.
