Perhaps, you could disable the Shorten-URL button as soon as there are too many characters in the source window? Or at least improve the error message (stating that this function only works for short examples). > But the URL shortening isn't the best solution anyway.

Maybe it's a good idea to store the code in a > gist and just pass on the link including the gist id? May be ... although it's just a lot simpler with (short) URLs. BTW, the gist-menu has as "Acticate filter for [qx]" option. I couldn't really figure out how to set "qx" on gist-hub ...
