We've implemented embeds as part of ARTEDIT-14 and ARTEDIT-15, but the content returned is currently not styled.

Visual design needs rework

We've originally assumed (see ARTEDIT-14) that the visual appearance of embedded content was given by the library actually implementing the embed. Our implementation, however, works differently: we retrieve structured content which we then have to style ourselves.

We thus have develop styles for four "resource types" defined by the oEmbed convention ourselves. The resource types and the parameters they come with are shown below.

Four resource types of oEmbed

Goal

• We show how the four resource types of oEmbed ("photo", "video", "rich" and "link") look and work in the content editor UI.
• We also define how they look and work in the default templates delivered by the article editor module.
