Discussion on: Music Monday — What are you listening to? (Halloween Edition 🎃)

Awww yeah! Loving see all these great recommendations, Jo. So glad you chimed in with all these! 🙌

And I got you on the embed! Here's how it's done:

{% embed https://... %}

For instance, your first link should look like this when you write it out:

{% embed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e15Uz_7fEms %}

When not written in a code snippet that'll looks like this:

Muwahahahaha! Thanks Michael~!

Is this for this site alone? Should I be looking up dev.to docs or something? I tried my hand at the markdown version but I think even that might have been bunk. This is good stuff. Hope it doesn't just help me.

Also, thanks for the jam-down thread. I love me some jams =)~

Bahhh! I'm sorry I missed your question here.

So the embeds are indeed something that only works this way on DEV (to my knowledge!)... but otherwise our Markdown rules are like most other places I think.

Our Editor docs are a little scattered and some things could possibly be out of date... we need to do better! 😅

However, I can point you to a couple good resources:

First up, check out our Best Practices for Writing on DEV series here and in particular this post:

And also, give a read through our Editor Guide! I think that should be handy to ya.

One last thing, a DEV member wrote up a pretty cool helpful post earlier this week, check it out!

Super-duper no worries! I figure everything happens if/when it's supposed to happen. So I don't hold my breath about anything. And, to be honest, I rapid fire ask about 1,000 questions a day. Either to myself or others. So it's to be expected a majority fall to the wayside =)!

I'm gunna tab these and leaf over them in a bit. Thanks again for always being so helpful/kind!
