 * Hi,
 * I’m a big markdown user and Im trying to use it with wordpress. It works well
   excepts when I try to use iframe tag to have a vimeo movie by example.
 * I tried to use a <div></div> to ignore the content but it just remove my iframe
   option and leave it blank.
 * If you have any idea how to fix that …
 * Kind regards,
 * H.

 * Hi,
    I’ve not consider iframe tags. However you might want to use the [embed]
   shortcode instead? [http://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds](http://codex.wordpress.org/Embeds)
 * Please note that embedding with using the shortcode will not be supported in 
   future versions of WP-Markdown.

 * Hi,
 * The issue with [embed] shortcode is that it’s not showed anymore in the editor
   once I publish my article.
 * How do you manage to add embed video in your posts using WP-Markdown ?

 * The following worked for me:
 * `[embed]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Skl71urqKu0[/embed]`

 * The embed videos work well with youtube but not with vimeo.
 * Anyway on that link there is another link to this plugin :
 * [https://s3.amazonaws.com/sct/vimeo-oembed.php.zip](https://s3.amazonaws.com/sct/vimeo-oembed.php.zip)
 * and it works 🙂 you have just to put the vimeo link and its embed directly.
 * Why are you dropping the embed shortcode in the future ?

 * Cool, glad its working.
 * I’m not dropping the support for the shortcode – but currently it works without
   a shortcode too. Just put the link on its own separate line (works for the above
   youtube link anyway…). These are both supported by WordPress natively – but getting
   the latter to work with MarkDown, interferes with the parser in some cases.
 * So the shortocode will always work, but I’ll be dropping the support for embedding
   without the shortcode.
