Display Github permalink to a code snippet about marked

Seems like this is a limitation of react-github-permalink as well.

Yeah exactly. I'm not a web-dev person so I realized I was making a lot of bad assumptions lol. Now I think I'll just use the extension to statically generate the HTML from markdown, and serve that for my purposes. I'm also using a forked version of zero-md since there are some style things I want from that, but the extension should be usable for anyone that wants to go from markdown to HTML, with embedded GH permalink displayed like how GH displays them in threads.

I'll publish the extension when it's polished, in case anyone ever finds it helpful.

If you want to create an extension we can add it to our known extensions.

Cool. I'm somewhat unfamiliar with the HTML space, but happy to give it a shot.

Got it to work but now it feels like a bad idea, since it involves querying the GitHub API for file content every time you parse a permalink, which requires an access token, and there's a rate limit. Maybe it's better to just show the link and copy over the source code...
