To embed a YouTube video:

<youtube>VyBSS48E4xI</youtube>

Archive.org audio	‎<aoaudio>
Nicovideo	‎<nicovideo>

• Width is controlled with width="xxx", where xxx is the number of pixels.

The default is 640 pixels.

• Height is controlled in the same way with height="xxx".

The default is 385 pixels.
