Possibility to emit code fence and not html that already has syntax highlighting?

[chivandikwa]

Is there currently a way to make the gatsby-remark-embed-gist plugin emit a code fence similar to manually adding code with markdown, something like

var sampleCode = "awesome"

This would then make it possible to use the embedded gist with any other plugin you may have configured to do syntax highlighing. This is super useful in my case where I already use gatsby-remark-vscode with customization for code I add manually and would like my embedded gists to look exactly the same.

Hi @chivandikwa thanks for reporting this.

I think this is possible, but it will require a major change to the way the plugin loads the gist.
The safest bet would be calling the Gist API.

I will look into this and get back to you by end of the week.
