Include code from GitHub as code block in GitBook

Question

How can I display raw code like this in GitBook?

https://raw.githubusercontent.com/luyongxu/SignalPlot/master/Code/1.016%20Asset%20Bubbles.R

I believe this is related to: Reading code from GitHub as text (raw) in a web page But I don't know how to call the JavaScript function in the main document.

Just add a book.json file to your GitBook. Paste this into it:

{
    "plugins": ["github-embed"]
}

Now just put something like this in your page:

{% github_embed "https://github.com/v5analytics/gitbook-plugin-github-embed/blob/1cd16ac/index.js#L3-L8" %}{% endgithub_embed %}

It's that simple!

Here's some documentation.

Note: I've got it working locally (using gitbook install and gitbook serve), but it's not working for me on GitBooks, so I've filed an issue here and here.

(proof it's working locally)

Apologies on behalf of gitbook-plugin-github-embed for their deprecated code!
