embed Gist shortcode

gist-shortcode.php

<?php
// usage: get the gist ID and place the shortcode in the site: [gist id="THE_ID"]
// allows for an optional title to display above, i.e [gist id="THE_ID" title="Some Title"]
// embed gists
function gist_shortcode($atts, $content = NULL) {
        extract( shortcode_atts( array(
            'id'    => '',
            'user'  => 'norcross',
            'title' => ''

        ), $atts ) );

    if (empty ($id) )
        return;

    $gist = '<div class="github-gist-block">';

    if(!empty($title))
        $gist .= '<h4>'.$title.'</h4>';

    $gist .= '<script src="https://gist.github.com/'.$user.'/'.$id.'.js"></script>';
    $gist .= '</div>';


    // now send it all back
    return $gist;
}


add_shortcode ( 'gist', 'gist_shortcode');

Very useful.

The only thing I don't like about the script embed method is the inability to separate multiple files within one gist.

I also wish they allowed user defined styles. :)
