Support audio / video #108

Closed MartinPacker closed 2 years ago

MartinPacker commented 2 years ago

It's not clear to me how / whether Markdown or HTML could support a direct link to audio or video. python-pptx, however, definitely can.

(Personally, I don't have a pressing need for this. But if it's easy to use I just might.)

HTML 5 has <audio> and <video> elements. These are perfectly reasonable things for a user to code - even in Markdown (as it can contain HTML).

One slightly tricky thing is the layout dimensions. I think for <video> the width and height attributes could be used for the proportions, rather than being treated as actual pixel values.

This is coming along but it's causing mass refactoring of the image rendering code - including the creation of a parseMedia function. This refactoring has already simplified the code and fixed a few edge cases.

Pushed code that supports

MartinPacker commented 2 years ago

Pushed further code that supports retrieving video from the web.

<audio> support remains to be done, as does documentation.

MartinPacker commented 2 years ago

In HTML the <audio> element doesn't have height or width attributes. I think it should probably have a square aspect ratio. When I support it I'll code it that way.

MartinPacker commented 2 years ago

<audio> support is done. As is documentation. All on the trunk.
