Display Markdown-Text from an external source such as Github-Repos.
With version >=1.4.0 of this plugin, external sources can contain blocks that follow a specific syntax which is similar to the one known from ilTemplate. An example can be found below.
[//]: # (BEGIN block_name_1)
...
### My Block title
Lorem ipsdum dolor sit amet ...
...
[//]: # (END block_name_1)
As you can see, the block "tags" are official markdown-comments which are not visible when rendering the actual MD file.
Of course, block_name_1 can be replaced by the name of your choosing and wrap any content you like. Note that there is no duplicate protection though, so if multiple blocks with the same name are found, the first one will be used.
