We would like to be able to embed runnable Repl.it embeds like [this one](https://repl.it/Dn6S?lite=true).
Repl.it supports embedding and documents this here: [https://repl.it/site/docs/embed](https://repl.it/site/docs/embed)
But since embed uses an iframe, Discourse seems to suppress it. Is there a way we could somehow whitelist this so people could include runnable code snippets in their posts?

We recommend codepen instead, which should already work.

We’re using CodePen heavily elsewhere within Free Code Camp’s community, but it only works for JavaScript (and doesn’t have a REPL).
REPL.it works for a wide variety of programming languages. How can we get REPL.it embeds to work?

You would either need to make a plugin for it, or send through a PR to the onebox gem to optionally allow this embedding (default off)

OK - thanks for clarifying. I will reach out to REPL.it and see if they can add themselves to OneBox.
