Trying to do a simple Youtube link in a discourse post and it, as expected, loads a video embed in place. But surround the same link with `[details] [/details]` tags and it goes back to being a basic link.

Is this intended behavior? I did find an older thread that suggested it’s not: [Embed youtube video into Details/Summary Tag](https://meta.discourse.org/t/embed-youtube-video-into-details-summary-tag/95166)

Works in HTML `<details>` does not work in BBCode `[details]`

Marking this a #pr-welcome … very minor and there is a simple workaround which is to use HTML `<details>`
