Example of how to embed a Gist on GitHub Pages using Jekyll.

Here's an example of how to embed a Gist on GitHub Pages:

{% gist 5555251 %}

All you need to do is copy and paste the Gist's ID from the URL (here 5555251), and add it to a gist tag surrounded by {% and %}.

result.md

And here's what it would look like rendered:

No solution, till end, what is cool, i don't understand.
Just contacted Github, and put this as a feature request.
Hope, that anybody sees this, will also do the same.
