I want to work in specific settings of GitHub inline editor, so I set them manually:
But each time I commit a change in inline editor and begin to edit another (or the same) file in it, it always falls back to original settings:
So I have to set it over and over again, with each edit.
Is there any way I can set it permanently to maintain my mental stability in range and to not get crazy?
It is possible to do so, since some HTML is supported within GitHub's Markdown. Here is an implementation that I was successful in getting:
Assuming that you want to output [[Link|Link]], you can add "<code>[[Link|Link]]</code>" into the text editor. It makes sure that the output will be parsed properly and the link does not render.
Note: "[" is the HTML code for "[".
I filled a contact form at https://help.github.com/contact, and got the following reply within a few days:
Hey Rob
Sorry for the delay getting back to you. We pushed out a fix for this a few hours ago. You should be showing up correctly in Pulse pages now. Let me know if you're still having any trouble.
Cheers

Indeed, the issue has been resolved for me. As a bonus, my Gravatar also shows up before the box of commits that used to be blank for me as well. Example:

For me, such feature was so obvious, that it can't be even more obvious. I was rather to think, that I'm going to get quick answer here, that it has already be implemented and I'm just missing some configuration stuff to enable it. I mean, how does GitHub survived that long, without this feature?
Since, there was no answer here, I reported this to GitHub. Turns out, I was wrong -- it isn't that obvious to others, as I supposed. I have just received confirmation:
That's all about official GitHub's statement / reply. I hope other finds this feature worth implementing (five voteups during only one day seems to confirm, that others want that too). So, let us hope, that this will survive on GitHub's Feature Request List™ and will be implemented soon.
Edit (after fourteen months since answering): There isn't much change on this matter. Non-default settings, made by user to inline editor, are still not saved. The only difference is, that they've changed default settings a little bit, so now, it is:
Saving user settings in editor is an obvious and simple to implement thing. Not having it implemented for past fourteen months should rather suggest, that this feature won't be implemented at all. Pity...
