As of Smartdown 0.0.63, URLs that refer to videos, images, tweets and audio will be displayed as clickable links, rather than embedded media. By using Markdown's image-embedding syntax, these media types will be displayed with an appropriate player.
For example, the syntax ![](https://vimeo.com/253898691)
will display the video at https://vimeo.com/253898691
as an embedded video. Smartdown currently supports optional keywords which can be placed in the label portion of the URL. For example, ![thumbnail](https://vimeo.com/253898691)
will display the video in a fixed-size small frame, as opposed to ![fullwidth](https://vimeo.com/253898691)
which displays a responsive video that occupies the full available width.
Currently supported sizes for videos are:
thumbnail
halfwidth
fullwidth
(the default)
