[edit] Usage

The EmbedVideo parser function expects to be called in either of the following ways:

  • {{#ev:service|id}} -or-
  • {{#ev:service|id|width}}

Where:

  • service is the name of a video sharing service.
  • id is the id of the video to include.
  • width (optional) is the width in pixels of the viewing area (height will be determined automatically).

For example, to include the famous "evolution of dance" YouTube video, you'd enter:

{{#ev:youtube|dMH0bHeiRNg}}

And if you wanted scaled down to thumbnail size, you could use:

{{#ev:youtube|dMH0bHeiRNg|100}}

Note: See the Project Homepage for more examples.

[edit] Formatting

The video can be easily formatted onto the page using one of the following templates:

  • [[Youtube_rhs|video=id]]
  • [[Youtube_lhs|video=id]]

where id is the YouTube video id.
