## Description

A simple plugin that enables a shortcode for embedding Gist code in WordPress.

The shortcode has two attributes, the Gist source URL and, optionally, the height
of the embedded code window.

    ```
    [gist src="" height=""]
    ```

The Gist `src` attribute must be the embed URL, for example: https://gist.github.
com/imaginarymedia/316a29936e5e7d709665.js

The Gist `height` attribute is optional and can be any value with a valid CSS unit
measure: em, %, px, vh, etc. It will apply a max-height to the gist.

The plugin also creates UI buttons for both the visual and text editors.
