I have a Gist that I would like to embed within a GitHub issue. I have tried pasting the "Embed" <script> markup shown on the Gist page, which simply adds the escaped HTML to the issue comment.
This seems a rather obvious feature to not be supported. What am I missing?
Because embedding requires a <script> tag which gets sanitized and removed to prevent abuse this probably won't ever work in GitHub Issues.

I have my blog made by 'Ghost', and I'm trying to inject Github Gist in my post using the javascript github provides.
However, I usually keep a lot code snipplets in a single gist.
https://gist.github.com/devlphj/6631dc284065a5e61752d3970d74303b
Like the link above, this gist contains 2 code snipplets.
However, I want to post only 1 of the 2 snipplets.
By the Github guide, normally you inject your gist like
<script src="https://gist.github.com/devlphj/6631dc284065a5e61752d3970d74303b.js"></script>
However, by this method, both the 2 snipplets show on my blog.
I tried like,
However, this doesn't showed snipplets at all.
Anyone knows a solution for this?
How about this? You can use a query parameter of file= for the URL.
When you want to embed 2.cpp from the gist, you can use a following code.
<script src="https://gist.github.com/devlphj/6631dc284065a5e61752d3970d74303b.js?file=2.cpp"></script>
When you want to embed temp.cpp from the gist, you can use a following code.
<script src="https://gist.github.com/devlphj/6631dc284065a5e61752d3970d74303b.js?file=temp.cpp"></script>
If I misunderstand your question, I'm sorry.
Context
You can create a Gist on GitHub and embed it on your web page: embedding Gists.
This is an example of a randomly chosen Gist: tap.groovy.
Question
Is embedding also possible with other code files from GitHub, for example with this randomly chosen C# file ICommand.cs which is not a Gist?
You can try https://emgithub.com, which does exactly what you want.
To embed the example file ICommand.cs in your question, you can just add "em" before "github.com" in the address bar, then press Enter.
Then you can get a script tag like this:
<script src="https://emgithub.com/embed-v2.js?target=https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fdotnet%2Fcorefx%2Fblob%2Fmaster%2Fsrc%2FSystem.ObjectModel%2Fsrc%2FSystem%2FWindows%2FInput%2FICommand.cs&style=default&type=code&showBorder=on&showLineNumbers=on&showFileMeta=on&showCopy=on"></script>
Note if you simply click Run code snippet in StackOverflow, the copying button at top right corner may not work. Running it outside SO would work fine.
Unlike other websites that do similar work, EmGithub.com is a static site hosted on Github Pages. Fetching target files and highlighting are done on your browser.
Disclosure: I'm the developer of it :)
You can use https://gist-it.appspot.com/:
<script src="http://gist-it.appspot.com/https://github.com/dotnet/corefx/blob/master/src/System.ObjectModel/src/System/Windows/Input/ICommand.cs"></script>
There's a standard for embedding content from one website in another via a URL, called oEmbed. Unfortunately, GitHub is not a oEmbed provider, i.e. it doesn't support oEmbed for its URLs.
I found a proxy service, Oembed Proxy for GitHub,
which adds oEmbed support for GitHub's code URLs. You pass a GitHub URL as a parameter to the proxy's URL and a resulting URL can be be pasted in another website, assuming that website supports embedding oEmbed links.
Another obstacle is that not every website supports embedding oEmbed URLs. According to the proxy's documentation, notion is one website that supports them. I did some research and looks like it should be possible to add oEmbed support to e.g. wordpress or jekyll.
This answer provides a very limited solution, due to small adoption of oEmbed. I thought it would be worth to spread the word nonetheless.
Another possible service is https://github.com/finom/github-embed. It seems to be unmainted by now for about 2 years, but gist-it seems to be unmaintained for even 6 years. I've tried neither, though.
You can use gistYard

It provides features like changing theme , cutting code directly from raw , edit mode , custom styling and others.
I am creating a Wiki page in github.com. I am trying to use table in the Markdown edit mode. I created table by embedding html expecting to add inline-css later but found that inline-css also not working.
I tried following:
<style>
.markdown-body table td {
font-size: 12px !important;
}
</style>
Link for my wiki page.
Have anyone tried it before or achieved similar things or any help?
I have managed to make the font size small in table by using <sub>...</sub> tag.
Achieved this by Wrapping each line of text (inside td) under <sub>...</sub>.
UPDATED WIKI LINK
Just because I don't see this mentioned here I'd like to add one interesting possibility. I know that GitHub's markdown is easy, but if you get at this point where you are sort of battling with it's limitations to get the styling just the way you like it, you might consider switching over to GitHub Pages.
From that link:
GitHub Pages are public webpages hosted and published through our site.
You can create and publish GitHub Pages online using the Automatic Page Generator.
GitHub has special handling for a branch in your repo called gh_pages. Any content pushed to that branch will be published to a subdomain on github.io. Once done, your very own static website will appear at https://your-username.github.io/your-project.
Github makes it super easy to convert your existing markdown to some nice looking website (check out the Automatic Page Creator section in the repo settings) which you can then just pull in from the gh_pages branch and edit to your heart's content.
While the CSS usedby GitHub is described in this official guide, I didn't find any example where you could embed your own stylesheet in a page served by GitHub.
And section would be ignored.
That was already the case two years ago for Gist (for instance).
This worked for me:
<font size="+1">Description</font>
I want to have links inside my code blocks using GitHub flavored markdown.
```cpp
void Click ([Keycode](#keycode) key) const
```
Unfortunately, it renders that as code, anyway to make it a link instead?
If its a short piece of code this should do the trick:
[`this is code`](https://this_is_url/)
As far as I know, the current instance of GitHub Flavored Markdown doesn't support this.
The all block is rendered with <div class="highlight highlight-html"><pre>... </pre></div>, meaning your markdown link is not interpreted.
It would be best to place that link just before the code section (unless said section has dozens of similar links in your code).
As suggested by VonC, it might not be possible with the current version of GitHub Flavored Markdown. That being said, I did find a way around it which suits my requirements. By using tags like <big>, <pre> and <b> I'm able to simulate syntax highlighting and get the effect I'm looking for. Too bad I can't add my own color though.
<big><pre>
**void** Click ([**Keycode**](#keycode) key) **const**
</pre></big>
You can do this using HTML in markdown, yes, even on Github:
<pre>
Something
</pre>
This makes the trick.
I use it on my GitHub profile page to put links inside code blocks.
<pre>
<code>
gmarciani
</code>
</pre>
Is it possible to change Github's gists default styles programmatically or through some interface?
I don't know of any API or interface influencing the way gist are presented on GitHub.
If you include those gist in your blog, then of course some CSS local changes can make your gist different, as illustrated by this blog post, this CSS or this CSS.
However, this doesn't concern syntax highlighting.
You can only share those Gist with a custom stylesheet through, for instance Octopress, using a Sass port of Solarized syntax highlighting.
But again, that won't change those gist presentation on GitHub itself.
May i am late at party, but you can create your own CSS by editing the default one it with the color you want. I have done something same but instead of pasting all the css in the blog i prefer to link it
See if this works for you

You can also find it here: GistDarkCode.css I made it look all black
Edit:
I figured out that the markdown (*.md) documents are where still white this has been fixed in this new version 0.3.0 also the font size is increased to 14px to make it look bigger, try the new one below

For embedded Gists there is Pretty Gist
Pretty Gist is a jQuery plugin to make prettier and more functional embedded Github Gists.
Github repo
Yes there are different properties to control the default css of GitHub gist. I did various customizations in this project and made sure I define the properties after the embedded js - https://github.com/tebelorg/TA.Gist (PHP template that displays your GitHub gists as blog posts)
