+## Gists and Markdown code
+
+:::note
+This feature is a work in progress and should currently be treated as experimental.
+Markdown sources are ignored by default unless passed explicitly as inputs.
+You can enable including non-explicit `.md` inputs by passing the `--enable-markdown` option.
+:::
+
+It is possible to run markdown sources from a GitHub gist. 
+The gist is technically treated as a zipped archive (which it is downloaded as), so it is necessary to pass
+the `--enable-markdown` option alongside the gist URL to run any contained Markdown sources.

+<ChainedSnippets>

+```bash
