Embedding a Video file

You can embed a video that you have on file into your DITA source document.

To embed a video from your file directory:

1. Create the an object tag for the video, for example: <object> </object>

2. Next you are going to want to specify certain attributes for your video object

   • If want to set a stylename, set the outputclass attribute to whatever stylename you want to give it.

   • Specify what width and height you want to give to your video in the width and height attributes

   • Set the data attribute to the path to the video file relative to the source file

   • For example: <object outputclass="Foo" width="560" height="320" data="../../Video/small.mp4"> </object>

3. Optional: if you want controls on your video include the following param tag inside your object tag: <param name="controls" value="true">

The following is a fully working code example of the previous steps:

<object outputclass="Foo" width="560" height="320" data="../../Video/small.mp4">
  <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
  <param name="controls" value="true" />
</object>
