ODIdown (pronounced like eiderdown) is a set of extensions to Markdown for use at the ODI.
It's built on top of govspeak, and basically just patches their extension rather than building our own.
Add it to your Gemfile
gem "odidown", github: "theodi/odidown"
then create a new document
require 'rubygems'
require 'odidown'
doc = Govspeak::Document.new "^Test^"
puts doc.to_html
In addition to the govspeak extensions:
iframe and script tags are allowed, for embedding things like Youtube videos and tweets.
We also have a nice helper for embedding content from a number of different services:
embed[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeaZ3_UN18g]
The embed syntax above supports the following services:
- Youtube (inc. Hangouts on Air)
- Vimeo
- Soundcloud
- Slideshare
- Scribd
- Livestream
- Storify
Just paste in the content page URL, and the code will do the rest. You can specify a size like so, either in pixels, or %:
embed[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeaZ3_UN18g|200,100]
embed[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aeaZ3_UN18g|100%,400]
All embed sources support width/height, except:
- Storify
