Embed youtube video in markmin (à la web2py book)

[Jon Subscripted]

Hi everyone,

I have a part of my website shaped as web2py book. In order to handle long texts in different languages.

As you might know content is in *.markmin files that are reprocessed into HTML to be served by a generic controller.

I'm trying to embed a youtube video in the *.markmin file. I tried the following approaches, but none of them worked:

1) Enter HTML directly:

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pbIm1R_FBps" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe>

 2) Use the IFRAME helper:

{{=IFRAME(_src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/pbIm1R_FBps")}}

 3) Use the link  wrapped in HTML5 tags directly:

<video>https://www.youtube.com/embed/pbIm1R_FBps</video>

 4) Use the format from ( http://fpl.cs.depaul.edu/jriely/360/extras/ractive-web2py/web2py/gluon/contrib/markmin/markmin.html ):
[[message https://www.youtube.com/embed/pbIm1R_FBps video]]

Option 4, does show a video frame, but then the video does not play o_O

How should I include the link inside the markmin files to make it work?

I know I do not fully understand the mechanics, so most probably there's some conceptual error in my implementation.

Thanks, Jon.

PS. Another way to pose the question would be; what is the IFRAME format to be used in *.markmin files inside the web2py book app to embed youtube videos?
