it pulls a gist -- like this one -- and converts the thing from its native format, which is markdown, into a nicely formatted .html display.
pretty simple, and a great example of the kind of thing i'm doing with my own z.m.l. (zen markup language).
at least, it will be, maybe, i hope, once it gets working. (it appears not to be functioning at the moment.)
oh, i see, it was because i hadn't given a "title" to the post, which concluded with the ".md" extension. once i added that, it works fine...
- simple
- quick
- intuitive
- elegant
- powerful
- effective
i'd like to know how to turn off the line-numbers. i don't need 'em. ok, the line-numbers were because i hadn't given a title with the ".md"

p.s. it looks like gist.io doesn't do the conversion; it's done by github. which is why gist.io requires that the gist be declared as a markdown file.
