rstyoutube 0.1

rstyoutube is a package for embedding youtube videos in reStructuredText documents.

The code lives at http://bitbucket.org/cliff/rstyoutube. Bug reports, feature requests, and contributions are all welcome. If you find the code useful, hop on bitbucket and send me a quick message letting me know.

To use with pelican or another docutils-based system, add the following to your pelican configuration file:

import rstyoutube
rstyoutube.setup_docutils()

To use rstyoutube in standalone rst files, you can use the included rst2html+youtube.py script, which should get installed onto your PATH.

In your reST document, include a youtube directive with the video’s id as the sole argument as follows:

This is my document

.. youtube:: 5blbv4WFriM

Hope you enjoyed the video.

That’s all it takes.
