Better Core Video Embeds vs Github README

This plugin provides page optimisations for pages and posts which have embedded Youtube, Vimeo or Daily Motion videos which have been added using the core embed block. Without this plugin, when using the core embed block, when your page loads, lots of external scripts and styles are loaded from the embed service, regardless of whether a visitor actually interacts with the embedded video. This plugin prevents these scripts and styles from loading until the user actually interacts with the video. It does this by replacing the video embed, on page load with the video thumbnail image (added on Youtube, Vimeo or Daily Motion). When a user clicks the thumbnail the embedded video, along with associated scripts and styles are loaded.

Github README is a plugin that allows you to embed markdown from GitHub in a page or post using a simple shortcode. Usage: github_readme This shortcode embeds the project’s readme. [github_readme repo=”octalmage/Marknote”] You can also trim lines from the top of the readme using the “trim” option: [github_readme repo=”octalmage/Marknote” trim=”3″] This is useful for removing titles since your page/post will most likely already have one. github_markdown This shortcode embeds any markdown file found in the repository. [github_markdown repo=”octalmage/Marknote” file=”README.md”] trim, branch, and cache (seconds to cache) also supported. github_wikipage This shortcode embeds pages from a project’s wiki. [github_wikipage repo=”octalmage/Marknote” page=”Syntax”] trim and cache also supported.
