When you need to embed content, and the above methods are insufficient, you can try iframe. To use this on Corsbook, use the [iframe][/iframe] shortcode. For example:
[iframe src="https://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/mars/images/index.html"][/iframe].
This will display the source contents:
.NASA video shown in web version.
Here are some useful parameters for iframe:
- height (examples: height=”50%”, height=”300px”)
- width (examples: width=”100%”, width=”200px”)
Here is another example with lots of parameters.
[iframe class="noprint" height="50%" src="https://www.alexandriarepository.org/wp-content/uploads/20161226131424/HMMExplosiveEruption_12Oct2008_1.mp4" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture;fullscreen" ]Error.[/iframe]
You can find additional parameters, such as for sizing, at the iframe site.
There are a few ways you can make iframe better for print and accessibility:
- class=”noprint” after the word iframe will prevent the contents from showing up in the PDF and print media.
- alt=”your visual description” is used after the word iframe or the class statement to tell accessibility-enabled devices what would have been seen in the iframe.
<span class="nodisplay">NASA video shown in web version.</span>can be in text mode used after the enclosing iframe short code to provide a description that will only appear in the PDF and print modes.
