Styling Gists

Custom themes

These are experimental approaches.

Gists are embedded using a JS script which generates the formatted Gist content. It is not IFRAME'd which means it can be accessed directly via CSS.

However it is also undocumented styling.

[ID] is necessary [REVISION] can be omitted to get the latest revision [FILE] can be omitted to get the first file
