How to customize the text in an embedded post?

Thanks for writing this down!

Control over the truncated HTML content

You can do this already. Just set the site setting allowed embed classnames to a classname of an element you’ve used to wrap the excerpt you want on your site

Yes, that’s exactly what I played around with, the issue being the content will be wrapped in several HTML tags, which is why the onebox will not trigger. I tried separating the URL with <br> tags (to trigger the onebox), but stuff like that appears to get trimmed automatically.

@angus

I wouldn’t recommend that.

Hmm, okay, why?

I would set the embed_url value, of course.
