Media links

Enable with .UseMediaLinks() (included in UseAdvancedExtensions()).

This extension converts image links (![...](url)) pointing to known media services into embedded players. When a Markdown image link targets a YouTube video, Vimeo clip, or other supported media URL, Markdig renders an <iframe> instead of an <img>.

Supported services

Service	URL pattern
YouTube	`youtube.com/watch?v=...`, `youtu.be/...`
Vimeo	`vimeo.com/...`
Dailymotion	`dailymotion.com/video/...`
Yandex	`video.yandex.ru/...`
Odnoklassniki	`ok.ru/video/...`

Syntax

Use standard Markdown image syntax with a media URL:

![Video title](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ)

HTML output

<iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/dQw4w9WgXcQ"
        width="500" height="281"
        frameborder="0"
        allowfullscreen></iframe>

Direct media files

For direct links to media files the extension supports:

Format	Type
`.mp4`, `.webm`, `.ogg`	`<video>` element
`.mp3`, `.wav`, `.ogg`	`<audio>` element

![My video](video.mp4)

Produces:

<video width="500" height="281" controls>
  <source type="video/mp4" src="video.mp4"></source>
</video>

var options = new MediaOptions
