FAQ

Why is my gist's language classified as "Other"?

Lepton depends on GitHub API to detect the language. If this fails, you can put // vim: syntax=<your_language> at the top of the gist to specify the language.

// vim: syntax=javascript
let test = 'This is a javascript file'

Why I can't search my gist's content?

Currently, Lepton only supports the search for the gist's description field.

How to specify the title and tags for my gist?

GitHub Gist doesn't come with the native support for 'title' and 'tag' in the description field. Lepton adds these support, if the format [title] description #tags: tag1, tag2 is followed in the gist description field.
