Embedded gist formatting is too fragile

    While we were all glad to see that WordPress now supports embedding of GitHub gists, it seems like the current implementation is a bit fragile in terms of formatting.

    I am drafting a post containing a few gists and layout is completely broken. You can experience the issue also by visiting the official support page: http://en.support.wordpress.com/gist/ (source code in gists is centered).

    Ideally, it would be great if the embedded gists would be wrapped in an element that resets the CSS that messes up.

    The blog I need help with is blog.abahgat.com.

    I took a look to your drafted post and everything is working properly. Do you also encounter this issue in a different browser? for example Firefox or Safari?

    Otherwise please send us a screenshot of the page where you're seeing this.

    Sorry for the inconvenience.

    Thank you for looking into this.

    here's a screenshot of your own page about GIST support: http://i.imgur.com/wYzwY.png (the problem is that the source code is misaligned)

    here's a screenshot of my post draft: http://i.imgur.com/GKBrk.png (the problem is that the code font is smaller than the one used for the line numbers, that are therefore not-aligned). This in particular is due to the WP CSS font-size specification for pre prevailing on the one in gists.

    Thanks!
    I eventually decided to fix the built-in source code rendering via CSS, but gists work fine now :)
