    This page will contain instructions on how to embed video files
    The EmbedVideo parser function expects to be called in any of the following ways:
     
    ====<code>#ev</code> - Classic parser tag====
    * <code><nowiki>{{#ev:service|id}}</nowiki></code>
    * <code><nowiki>{{#ev:service|id|dimensions}}</nowiki></code>
    * <code><nowiki>{{#ev:service|id|dimensions|alignment}}</nowiki></code>
    * <code><nowiki>{{#ev:service|id|dimensions|alignment|description}}</nowiki></code>
    * <code><nowiki>{{#ev:service|id|dimensions|alignment|description|container}}</nowiki></code>
    * <code><nowiki>{{#ev:service|id|dimensions|alignment|description|container|urlargs}}</nowiki></code>
    * <code><nowiki>{{#ev:service|id|dimensions|alignment|description|container|urlargs|autoresize}}</nowiki></code>
    * <code><nowiki>{{#ev:service|id|dimensions|alignment|description|container|urlargs|autoresize|valignment}}</nowiki></code>
     
    However, if needed optional arguments may be left blank by not putting anything between the pipes:
    * <code><nowiki>{{#ev:service|id|||description}}</nowiki></code>
     
    ====<code>#evt</code> - Parser tag for templates====

    The EmbedVideo parser function expects to be called in any of the following ways:
     
    ====<code>#ev</code> - Classic parser tag====
    * <code><nowiki>{{#ev:service|id}}</nowiki></code>
    * <code><nowiki>{{#ev:service|id|dimensions}}</nowiki></code>
    * <code><nowiki>{{#ev:service|id|dimensions|alignment}}</nowiki></code>
    * <code><nowiki>{{#ev:service|id|dimensions|alignment|description}}</nowiki></code>
    * <code><nowiki>{{#ev:service|id|dimensions|alignment|description|container}}</nowiki></code>
    * <code><nowiki>{{#ev:service|id|dimensions|alignment|description|container|urlargs}}</nowiki></code>
    * <code><nowiki>{{#ev:service|id|dimensions|alignment|description|container|urlargs|autoresize}}</nowiki></code>
    * <code><nowiki>{{#ev:service|id|dimensions|alignment|description|container|urlargs|autoresize|valignment}}</nowiki></code>
     
    However, if needed optional arguments may be left blank by not putting anything between the pipes:
    * <code><nowiki>{{#ev:service|id|||description}}</nowiki></code>
     
    ====<code>#evt</code> - Parser tag for templates====
    The <nowiki>#evt</nowiki> parser tag allows for key=value pairs which allows for easier templating and readability.
     
    <pre><nowiki>{{#evt:
    service=youtube
    |id=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSsYTj9kCHE
    |alignment=right
    }}</nowiki></pre>
     
    ====<code>#evu</code> - Parser tag for URLs====
    The <nowiki>#evu</nowiki> parser tag is like the <nowiki>#evt</nowiki> tag, but its first parameter is a URL that will be parsed to determine the service automatically.
     
    <pre><nowiki>{{#evu:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSsYTj9kCHE
    |alignment=right
    }}</nowiki></pre>
     
    ====Tag hook====
    Videos can easily be embedded with the <nowiki><embedvideo></embedvideo></nowiki> tag hook.  The ID/URL goes as the input between the tags and parameters can be added as the tag arguments.
     
    <pre><nowiki><embedvideo service="youtube">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSsYTj9kCHE</embedvideo></nowiki></pre>
     
    Alternativly, you can also use the service id as the tag (assuming another extension isn't already using this tag).
     
    <pre><nowiki><youtube>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pSsYTj9kCHE</youtube></nowiki></pre>
