I’ve posted details about the new plugin and how it works with arc_youtube on my blog.

That’s just awesome Andy. Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the plugin.

I was checking the examples in your plugin page and they don’t seem to be following the standard txp syntax which uses double quotes unless there’s a tag in tag. Is there a reason for that?

Hi colak, I was completely unaware that there was a standard TXP syntax. Is this a new concept? Using single quotes is just a habit I have from writing PHP. In PHP I only use double quotes if I intend to include variables in a string.

I’ll update my examples.

I remember reading about it in some place but maybe this indirectly answers your question.

Strange that the opposite convention to PHP’s usage of quotes has been adopted for Textpattern tags. A bit confusing.

Yes, it’s opposite when viewed from a programming perspective, but (I guess: I wasn’t around at its inception) it made sense to have a front-end parser that parsed HTML-style double-quoted attributes. Although HTML accepts both, the double-quote style was more prevalent in the early 2000s so was probably adopted. Thus when tags-in-tags syntax came along, Ruud had very little left to play with and had to use single quotes as the ‘executable content’ format.

EDIT: In any case, colak’s suggestion to use double quotes is perhaps a trifle faster (though I haven’t walked the code) because double-quoted strings don’t need to be checked for tags in the parser. Whether that’s true in practice, I’m unsure.

I’ve updated the plugin to allow both http and https video URLs. It also uses double rather than single quotes for HTML tag attributes now.

Just playing with this, so not urgent. Is there a way to overwrite the video size with CSS, e.g, have an option so there’s no height or width?
