How to use Speakerdeck embeds

support
1

I need to embed my presentations on a Hugo (0.66) site. However the builtin Speakerdeck support was removed in 0.42 https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/issues/4830

What is the best way to proceed ?

  • Work with a custom Hugo build, in which I’ll have to apply a patch on each release to support the feature ? Seems no-so-practical
  • Add a frontmatter key which the site them will know to fetch and generate the script tag if found ? That’s what I did in the short term, but it’s not very convenient.
  • Pass the whole content through safeJS ? Seems dangerous.
  • Submit a new version of the Speakerdeck shortcode addressing the issues in #4830 ?

You simply create a Speakerdeck shortcode in your project.

safeJS tells the go-txt package that it is safe to process an inline JS script and it takes place before output formats are rendered by Hugo. It certainly is not dangerous.

Just realized shortcodes were available per-site and did not need to be compiled in, but you already answered. This is indeed the best solution.
