Script ignores github gist code snippets #8

Excellent code! Congrats! Only what I noticed that it ignores github gists. It would be wonderful if you would add it. Thanks!

After some initial analysis, I found out that GitHub gists are not part of exported HTML content from Medium. They seem to be rendered on the fly when browsing Medium posts on the site. Closing this issue.

No, they are part of the exported html files, but it's actually a script tag. Those could be changed to other embedding syntaxes.

Thanks for the pointer, @vivainio. I'll try that out.
