Gist tag doesn't work anymore in Maruku 0.7.0

[vdurmont]

I just updated my Jekyll from 1.2.0 to 1.4.2 and Maruku from 0.6.0 to 0.7.0. The gist tag I used before doesn't work anymore. I posted this issue on the Jekyll repository and I was told that the problem came from Maruku:

It's due to the move from Maruku 0.6 to 0.7. Please file this over in: https://github.com/bhollis/maruku

Use a different markdown parser if you can. Other options are kramdown, redcarpet and rdiscount.

The syntax I use is:

{% gist 7360258 %}

And the error I got is:

Thanks for your help.

Maruku certainly doesn't have anything to do with the gist tag. Whoever maintains the gist tag needs to make sure to include a newline before the <script> tag - this will allow it to work consistently in multiple Markdown processors, not just Maruku.

Just to be clear, I'm still going to try to make it handle this case, because Maruku 0.6.1 did, but it's easy to work around.
