compared to gist.io, I like mkdown style better.

Can we have custom title too? this gist[1] titled "Learning Haskell" but in mkdown[2] it just say "Gist 8739525" in it's title.

Would grabbing the first header work for you? For the introductory post that would be perfect. http://www.mkdown.com/8485599

This seems like a good option for most gists, but for parent's specific use case it would just say "Primary course".

(This seems like more of a problem with the specific gist rather than with your idea.)

I was going to say the same thing. Something about the typography on mkdown is more visually appealing.

I much prefer mkdown's styling, but I think the initial fade-in is unnecessary.

"Learning Haskell" is filled in the description of the gist. Descriptions can be fairly lengthy and not always suitable as titles. However, I think it would be awesome to support metadata in a form like in Jekyll posts or something similar.
