Michael Mahemoff (ID: 00000075792dc79f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/31/2020 Very useful, thanks. Just wish it showed as separate "write" and "preview" tabs to be consistent with Github issues entry.

Matt Mower (mdmower) (ID: 000000fecd5087ce) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/04/2019 This is super easy to use, it behaves very similar to the Write and Preview tabs on GitHub. It outputs results just as I expect, too. Thank you!

ncode fun (ID: 000000f8a1e26235) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 12/22/2018 Cool extension! Now if spellcheck could work... Do you think this could be an option? (you only have to set textarea's spellcheck='true'). This would made this a kind of "better markdown gist" extension!

Mr. Lance E Sloan (ID: 000000888b78f3d3) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 12/01/2016 Two problems: 1. On the gist.github.com homepage, this extension messes up the layout. 2. While editing a gist containing a Markdown file, the preview button never appears. That is, it seems to be completely broken.
