It would be very helpful on question chats (when they go live) to have gist 'onebox' support, to make it easy to share code.

  • @Jeff If gist is [status-planned], what about other services such as pastie or pastebin?

Regarding waffles♦'s comment,

You can write multi-line messages with Shift+Enter. Moreover, you can just paste multi-line messages and they will be formatted as monospaced automatically (example: http://chat.meta.stackoverflow.com/chats/message/5211).

However, there's no code highlighting.

    The useful part of gists is that there is syntax highlighting already there.

  • @phsr: Syntax highlighting is a different issue.
