Parsing code from URL (Feature)

[gdolle]

If a code is already hosted on github (or elsewhere), you might want to avoid code duplication and parse the code from the url (e.g raw github, gists, ... etc).

For example

[import:"marker0"](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/azu/gitbook-plugin-include-codeblock/master/example/src/marker.ts)

This features includes other issue.
It need to access network in each build process.
Also, It should have effective cache system(maybe already exist some npm modules).

Edit: My position about this proposal #43 (comment)

This feature will add complexity to this plugin.
We should take care adding this feature.

• timeout
• redirect
• security
• separation of concerns

It would be really nice to have this feature, typically when we have to document a code and the book is not in the same repo ! it allows to keep the code up to date and avoir code duplication

I would love this feature. Please update doc here to remove "url" as an option - until this feature is added.
