markdown - Embed media content in lektor pages? -


i using nikola page generator.

but depending on page scope , users, lektor seems easier , more streamlined end-user. fits new page plan.

nikola embedds media (youtube, vimeo, soundcloud, etc.) https://getnikola.com/handbook.html#restructuredtext-extensions

how such functionality provided lektor?

the answer of @a. jesse right. due maintain simplicity in core of lektor, flask, automatic embedding not done "core".

however, in same spirit of flask, lektor highly extensible. applies parsing of markdown formatted text in post & rendering final html.

as said, can directly paste embeddable code in html in otherwise markdown texts. and, included as-is in final html.

but, thought hurts core intention of markdown's simplicity & quick readability.

easy-to-read, easy-to-write plain text format

that why felt necessity of lektor-embed-x writer write down content's link in seperate paragraph. small piece of plugin rest possible extent. glue-library between embedx , lektor.

  • if content of relatively "popular" site, , link okay format, related necessary embed-code generated , included in final html.
  • if not, link result in regular link, i.e. <a href=... link.

the usage simple.

step 1 add plugin by: $ cd path/to/lektor/project_folder $ lektor plugins add lektor-embed-x package lektor-embed-x (0.1.2) added project

that's it. ready go. [as of now, there no addition configuration.]

now, on post can add link on paragraph of own paragraph, without special marker or start-flag, in markdown formatted post below.

title: website --- body:  website made lektor quickstart.  , not contain lot of information.   # **heading 1**  ## 2nd head  _italic slated text_  ~~mess~~  whatever text need write.  https://twitter.com/codinghorror/status/686254714938200064  below how can embed in post.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_lot2p_fcva   so, wanted say. 

after generating final htmls through lektor, above post generate like:

sample render

note

please note nascent one-man project under active development , out of pre-alpha phase. hence, not many providers or link format there. yet. but, hope mature in short time.
