| + | ===== Embedding a Vimeo Video ===== | ||
| + | There is no Icon for this embedding. You use a **Tag** to do it. The tag is | ||
| + | <code> | ||
| + | [vimeo:ID height:PX width:PX align:LEFT/RIGHT pad:PX responsive:0/1]</code> | ||
| + | The **ID** is found in the URL of the video (see below). | ||
| + | |||
| + | {{ :forum_help:vimeo_id.jpg?nolink |vimeo ID}} | ||
| + | |||
| + | In most cases you only need the **ID**, height and width will use the default. As for alignment you can center the tag to have the video centered on the page. Make sure you place the **tag** on a separate line. | ||
| - | That's it, little more complicated but do-able for most I hope. Questions just ask for help. | ||
