Adding external videos (such as videos from YouTube) makes the documentation significantly lighter and streamlines the uploading process.
Add the following <object> element in a topic a video player:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE topic PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Topic//EN" "topic.dtd">
<topic id="a_topic_with_a_video">
<title>A Topic with a Video</title>
<body>
<example>
<object outputclass="iframe" data="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qepRkQxhTXQ">
<param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"/>
<param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"/>
</object>
</example>
</body>
</topic>
- Note that using third party services can lead to privacy issues.
- When adding a YouTube video, use the embed URL of the video (see Embed videos & playlists).
For security reasons, it is mandatory to use https URLs to display videos.
