title: How do I add inline comments in Github Flavored Markdown?
body: <p>I'm trying to create a gist with an inline comment. I read a solution <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4823468/comments-in-markdown">here</a> which works for putting a comment on it's own line (as shown in the image); however, it doesn't appear to work for inline comments. Is there any way to get inline comments in github flavored markdown?

  <pre><code>- [x] some item
  - [ ] another item with meta info [//]: # (attempt at meta info as inline comment)
  
  
  [//]: # (This may be the most platform independent comment)
  [//]: # (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4823468/comments-in-markdown)
