Nothing we do right now will give us working inline examples, because we aren't yet putting iframes in the pages. We are preparing the infrastructure to display live code examples in our own dabblet instance very soon, so we want to have code examples in pre blocks on the page itself. It seems like extra hassle to have people put examples in pre blocks and in GitHub, and I would prefer we not introduce people to a workflow that we would abandon within a month or so anyway.
