Summary of Changes

Added the feature to include code from external source with the use of a placeholder tag.

Testing Instructions

Create some code snippet on Gist here on Github, then get the url to the raw string of the code snippet. Then add the code to a custom area anywhere in your component. Using the following placeholder:

[EXTERNALCODE=https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Llewellynvdm/e13ed45e73590cc4bcd98a73cf9305f1/raw/fancyDate.txt]

So the placeholder format is

[EXTERNALCODE=https://theUrlToText.txt]

Expected result

On compilation the compiler will get the code/string from https://gist.githubusercontent.com/Llewellynvdm/e13ed45e73590cc4bcd98a73cf9305f1/raw/fancyDate.txt and add it to the area the placeholder is found.

When a change in the code/string is detected a notice will be given.

Actual result

New feature!

Documentation Changes Required

Will still make tutorials to announce this feature.

Should this not instead be called EXTERNALCODE since paths also work. I know it is little late in the game, but it makes more sense to call it EXTERNAL.

Well if we want to change it, best do it now. Please just note that I am not adding a DB fix, you that have been testing this, will have to fix your own DB's to have the correct table and column naming. I will update it for the release.

I will need you all to run the test again, since many variables will change, just to be save 👍
