I’m using Pluto more and more for presentations, and like to include some videos, tweets or images to spice it up a little. While using embed codes from each website works fine, I started playing around with something along the lines of the [Hugo shortcodes](https://gohugo.io/content-management/shortcodes/). The result is [ShortCodes.jl](https://github.com/hellemo/ShortCodes.jl), which is pretty basic, but serves my current needs.
```julia
using ShortCodes
# Embed tweet by id
Twitter(1314967811626872842)
# Embed youtube video by id and seek to start time and pause
# to show custom still image
YouTube("IAF8DjrQSSk", 2, 30) # 2 min 30 seconds
# Embed Flickr image by url
Flickr("https://www.flickr.com/photos/153311384@N03/29110717138")
# Share string, e.g. a url, with the audience of a presentation using QR code:
QRC("https://julialang.org/downloads/#current_stable_release")
```
As an example, the twitter embed should render something like this:
Let me know what you think, suggestions for improvements are welcome.

Cool stuff!
Isn’t it redundant to specify “[flickr.com](http://flickr.com)” for Flickr embeds?

Thanks!
Good point about Flickr, I guess since the API requires a url I just left it at that, but then so does Twitter. Perhaps the same trick could work for Flickr. I’ll have another look.
EDIT: The same trick seems to work for Flickr, did a minor update and now this should work:

Any plan to commit an updated version of the shortcodes.jl compatible with the current version of Pluto?

I wasn’t aware there was a problem with newer Pluto versions. I just tried with Pluto version 0.19.19 on julia master and the first couple of things I tried worked as expected. Could you please open an issue on github with more details on any incompatibilities?

Hi!
The problem is that when I try to install ShortCode.jl using the Pkg.jl the version of Pluto is downgraded to 0.19.9. You probably need to update the github Project.toml file (?)

Oh, I see. `ShortCodes.jl` uses an older version of `HTTP.jl`, holding Pluto back. I’ve released a new version which should allow the same version as Pluto, please give it a try.
I typically don’t have ShortCodes and Pluto installed in the same environment, so I never noticed (just installing/using ShortCodes from the notebook).

Thank you for the rapid reply!
It’s working great!
