Render content of external markdown file #586

Open meridius opened 7 years ago

I'd like to use page metadata to make Gitit render the external markdown content like its own page. Something like:

---
url: http://example.com/raw/tip/README.md
...

I know now that you can make Gitit show content of external file as it would be its versioned file, simply just by creating symlink to that file and committing it to Gitits' VCS.
It would be awesome if you could do something similar to render external (on the web) content.
