# Embedding

A link like this: 

https://youtu.be/jNQXAC9IVRw

Will be converted to HTML like this:

<iframe src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/jNQXAC9IVRw?rel=0&amp;wmode=transparent&amp;rel=0&amp;autohide=1&amp;showinfo=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe>


  

Note that you can always put any third party embed code as raw HTML directly into Markdown files.

Twitter

Links to tweets are rendered via Twitter’s own widget generator. Links to lists, profiles, hashtags and other pages are not embedded automatically.

Youtube

Links to Youtube videos are rendered via a privacy-enhanced URL. Youtube will not authenticate your visitors while they are staying on your site. As a consequence, certain personalized features such as watch later, share, and save to playlist will not be available to them on the embedded videos. The viewed video will also not appear in user’s Youtube history.

Vimeo

Links to Vimeo videos are rendered via the standard Vimeo embedded player.

Bandcamp

Links to Bandcamp tracks and albums are rendered via the standard Bandcamp embedded player. Audio does not auto-play.

Embed an image in a post

An image in your site’s folder becomes its own post by default. However, you can prevent a file becoming a post if you start its name starts with an un­der­score. Then you can use Markdown to embed the image in a text file:

 Post.txt 
Here’s how to embed an image in your folder. Note the image’s name starts with an underscore to prevent it becoming its own post:

![Image title](/path/to/the/_image.jpg)

Absolute paths are resolved with your site’s folder as root. Relative paths are resolved from the location of this file. You can also embed an image that’s already on the internet:

![Image title](https://url.of/the/image.jpg)
