Plugin for markdown-it that detects and outputs block level embeds such as videos and supports custom embed services.
This project started as a fork of the markdown-it-video package but for the most part has been rewritten to behave as a block element rather than an inline one. Implementation of embed services were separated and additional options have been added to control the output of the generated embed code.
Example input:
Here is an embedded video:

frameborder="0"
webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen allowfullscreen>

</div>$ npm install --save markdown-it-block-embed
var md = require("markdown-it")();
var blockEmbedPlugin = require("markdown-it-block-embed");
md.use(blockEmbedPlugin, {
