12 months ago Cool! Yeah, I think this is doable and the accessibility improvement is definitely worthwhile.
I'll look into it a little more but I think my preferred way to handle this is to add a configurable option to download the video title via oEmbed (example data).
Just thinking out loud here:
Pros:
- Doesn't break the existing public API (currently any paragraphs with trailing characters after the YouTube URL aren't processed — but thinking about providing inline config options in 2.x someday...)
- Doesn't require the user to remember any syntax or type anything extra
- Configure once and it works indefinitely
Cons:
- Introduces a network call for every embed processed (if you turn it on)
- Opt-in requires you to configure it in the first place
On balance, I think making it opt-in globally is the right tradeoff. Interested if anyone has other perspectives to add!

This is an enhancement request to add the ability to have custom title text on the iframe. Accessibly requirements at my institution encourage adding a title attribute on any iframe for screen readers (see SiteImprove's Guidelines). Not sure how you'd implement it with this plugin but it would be great if possible.
As I assume you know, the normal markdown for an image allows titles for images as such:
So maybe it could detect a single line with the title quoted after?
Anyways, thanks for this plugin as it's been a great help! If you had the ability to add this it would be really useful.
