Add built-in shortcodes for common usecases

[digitalcraftsman]

Why shouldn't we add a number of shortcodes for the most popular usecases and services. New users could use them out of the box without the need of creating them manually.

Follow the forum discussion for more information.

Just a quick compilation of usecases / services (todo list):

• [x] Twitter
• [x] Speakerdeck presentations
• [x] YouTube videos
• [x] Vimeo videos
• [x] Github gists

@digitalcraftsman - that's a good idea and not particularly difficult to implement. If you could figure out what the input options should be and sample output, that'd make it a piece of cake.

@derekperkins - below you find a list of the syntax that user would use to call the shortcodes. Do you think that something could be improved?

Twitter

To embed a single tweet the user needs to pass a username and the id of the tweet:

{{< tweet spf13 666616452582129664 >}}

Speakerdeck

Required is the id of the slide. This id can be found on the right side of the presentation on Speakerdeck under 'Direct link'

{{< speakerdeck 4e8126e72d853c0060001f97 >}}

YouTube

Just the id of the video is required:

{{< youtube w7Ft2ymGmfc >}}

Vimeo

Just the id of the video is required:

{{< vimeo 146022717 >}}

Gists

Gists would need the owner's username and its unique id:

{{< gist digitalcraftsman 85f59771b5ae1e2091a8 >}}

A comment for the documentation: You only need quoted parameters if you have spaces or very special chars, so this is better:

{{< youtube w7Ft2ymGmfc >}}

Thanks for annotating this. I'll update the examples above.

[digitalcraftsman]

All shortcodes are implemented (including Twitter) and the docs have been written.
