Support for embedding gists

I tried embedding a gist using the script tags generated when you click the embed link for a gist. From reviewing the markdown syntax guide it was not obvious to me whether this would be supported or not. When I do this in Byword it works just as I had hoped: the script is executed and the gist appears where inserted in the text, both in the Byword preview and in the html file.

In Marked the script shows at the bottom of the preview rather than in context in the text and is omitted from the generated html.

My suggestion would be to handle script tags in a similar way to the behavior in Byword.

Thanks for a really useful app!

    Byword doesn't do anything with javascript in its preview, so it doesn't
    need to think about that. Marked moves scripts to the bottom in preview for
    performance and to avoid conflict with the scripts that run all of its
    keyboard nav and special features. I can add a loophole for gists, though.
    I'll work something in for the next version.
