This plugin adds a shortcode that allows to include contents in your posts and pages from a remote markdown-formatted file. It supports Github Flavored Markdown and is meant to synchronize your app documentation from your GitHub or Bitbucket repo to your website, without having the need to update both.
Current stable version: 1.0.1
[remote-markdown refresh="60"]https://raw.githubusercontent.com/andrezrv/wp-remote-markdown/master/README.md[/remote-markdown]
Once loaded for the first time, a transient will be created with the expiration (in seconds) specified in the refresh property. That will prevent your site from doing a lot of unnecessary requests while the remote file is not being updated. A value of zero, or not using the parameter, will prevent the creation of the transient.
- Clone with
git clone git@github.com:andrezrv/wp-remote-markdown.gitor download and unzipwp-remote-markdown.zipinto your/wp-content/plugins/directory. - Activate the plugin through the "Plugins" menu in WordPress.

This plugin makes use of the Emanuil Rusev's Parsedown PHP library for Markdown parsing, and Google Code Prettify for language syntax highlighting.
Added Google Code Prettify source code to prevent external dependencies.
First public release.
