Embed GitHub Markdown Links

Download extension

Locates hyperlinks in Markdown documents on GitHub that link to other Markdown documents and embeds the linked document inline.A common problem with documentation in GitHub is that many readmes within the same organization include redundant information (contributing guidelines, release steps, setup information). To eliminate redundancies as well as to create more bite-size source files, developers often create separate documents and add hyperlinks to them in the readme. Unfortunately, this doesn't lead to a good reading experience (there's a lot of clicking around to read all the documentation). It sure would be nice to have the ability to embed a Markdown file within another Markdown file!

When viewing Markdown files on the GitHub website, this Chrome extension will find links to other Markdown files on GitHub and automatically embed the contents of those Markdown files beneath the hyperlink.

The source for this Chrome extension is available on GitHub (click the "Website" link).
