I put a raw URL in the raw text, and javascript rewrite magic happened to it and made it an embedded video.
I was strongly tempted to try and hit ^z on the rewrite because in my experience embedded stuff changes over times and thus makes the writing “not able to persist in archives for the ages”, but… :shrugs:
I’m not surprised that the article didn’t have it. LessWrong has had the issue that “comment markdown stuff and article markdown stuff work differently” essentially forever.
I guess another possibility: maybe the LW forum software devs changed the WYSIWYG javascript editor(s) to work the same, but you have a different browser than me, or that they tested on?
If you respond with a raw youtube URL, and don’t get an embedded video based on a javascript rewrite of the comment, that would help clarify what might be going on :-)
Yep, sorry, we don’t currently support Youtube embeds for the markdown editor. Just turned out to be much easier to implement for the WYSIWYG editor, since it came out of the box with the framework we are using.
Thank you for the info, I was not aware of Chaser! By the way, how did you do the YouTube embeds? I couldn’t make them work in my article.
