Ask HN: A word processor that allows you to insert code from GitHub

I was just wondering if anyone had come across a word processor or word processor plugin that lets you use context, like you would on github with links to sections of code from a specific commit?I'm going to be doing a big writeup and this would save me some formatting headaches...!
