asciidoctor include:: doesn't seem to be usable for github repos #335
Description
The include directive in asciidoctor documents doesn't seem to be usable at the moment for readme, it fails both when:
- attempting to use the "raw" URL, probably due to this and/or a higher safety mode used.
- attempting to use a relative path also fails (example here ).
Is there any possibility of a workaround/fix?

Due to potential security issues,
include::is not supported by GitHub at this time. We don't know if or when we'll add such a feature, but I've added your request to our internal feature request list.mikolak-net commentedon Jul 20, 2014
@gjtorikian re inherent insecurity of
includedirectives, completely understable, given how my background includes PHP ;).Nevertheless, I think properly pre-sanitized includes limited to only, say, files in the same repo (or same user's repos) would be safe enough, so 👍 on the add.

We're tracking this request from the Asciidoctor side.
asciidoctor/asciidoctor#1088
We need to do some planning and negotiating first, then we can possibly move forwards with an implementation. The limitations have to do as much about security as they are technical.
