Uses the shortcode:

Gists can be pretty handy.

Loom

To embed a Loom video in your HTML document use this shortcode:

{{< loom <VIDEO_ID> >}}

Where <VIDEO_ID> is the loom video ID. For example:

{{< loom 8619b03224f74282b6d56cbedbcd3fc6 >}}

Which renders like this:

You can get the VIDEO ID from for the URL of the video. For instance, in the URL https://www.loom.com/share/8619b03224f74282b6d56cbedbcd3fc6 the video ID is 8619b03224f74282b6d56cbedbcd3fc6.

Mastodon

This is a post on mastodon

Uses this shortcode:

{{< mastodon "https://mastodon.social/@sellorm/109376707453406631" >}}

Note

You must enclose the Mastodon URL in quotes, or the post will not be displayed.

You can obtain the username and status id of a tweet by clicking the “share tweet” button and choosing “copy URL”.

This will give you a URL like this one: https://twitter.com/juliesquid/status/1557485909486059523. The “user” is the section between twitter.com/ and /status. The status “id” is everything between status/ and the end of the URL or ?, whichever comes first.
