docmd ships natively with the highly-optimised embed-lite parser. It transforms external URLs into secure, zero-latency UI components automatically.

Supported Platforms

The engine natively supports structured formatters for the following networks:

  • Video: YouTube (including Shorts), Vimeo, Dailymotion, TikTok
  • Social: X (Twitter), Reddit, Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn
  • Code & Prototyping: GitHub Gists, CodePen, Figma, Google Maps
  • Music: Spotify, SoundCloud

Syntax Reference

::: embed "target_url"
Parameter Type Description
URL "String" The absolute URL of the external resource to embed (e.g., a YouTube video, Figma file, or GitHub Gist).

Examples

Video Embed

Paste any YouTube, Vimeo, or TikTok URL to render a native, responsive player.

::: embed "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0CSyIBHQy9g"

Fallback Behaviour

If the parser encounters an unsupported or invalid URL, docmd gracefully falls back to a hyperlink button rather than breaking the page.

::: embed "https://docs.docmd.io/content/containers/embed/"
