Hi all,  
Very pleased with the onebox support. One limitation seems to be that links to [readthedocs.org](http://readthedocs.org) aren’t oneboxed; eg

> **[Julia Programming Language Documentation](https://julia.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)**

Would be great to have this as we experiment with moving the Julia forums [over to Discourse](http://julia.malmaud.com/t/testing-oneboxing/3205); I can help out if someone points me in the right direction.

You have two options here:

1. implement a custom onebox here: [onebox/lib/onebox at main · discourse/onebox · GitHub](https://github.com/discourse/onebox/tree/master/lib/onebox)

2. (more desirable) add support for opengraph [http://ogp.me/](http://ogp.me/) to readthedocs (which would help everywhere) … then you simply whitelist the url.

You should implement OpenGraph at [readthedocs.org](http://readthedocs.org) if you control it, or strongly lobby them to do so.

[Lobbying process has begun](https://github.com/rtfd/readthedocs.org/issues/1758).
