Syntax guide

(In the examples below, replace elements in bold with your own content.) The default syntax:
<il-video-feature src="https://mediaspace.illinois.edu/media/t/1_0o2ypqvp">
<p>Your content here.</p>
</il-video-feature>

The required elements in this syntax are:

  • <il-video-feature></il-video-feature> enclosing some content
  • <src="some video URL"> to identify the video which should be featured

Options

Align left or align right

  • Syntax:
<il-video-feature align="right" src="https://mediaspace.illinois.edu/media/t/1_0o2ypqvp">
<p>Your content here</p>
</il-video-feature>
  • Default value: If an alignment is not specified, the positioning will default to placing the video on the left.
  • Required: No
  • Details: You can position the video to the left or the right. However, if the text is long enough to stretch the container vertically, you can’t adjust the vertical positioning of the video.

Blue, white, orange or solid background

  • Syntax:

<il-video-feature background="solid" src="https://mediaspace.illinois.edu/media/t/1_0o2ypqvp">
<p>Your content here</p>
</il-video-feature>

  • Color values available:
    • By default, the blue theme is used. The text will be white.
    • The orange theme also produces an orange gradient. The text will be white in some places and black in others because white text on orange backgrounds is often not high enough contrast for accessibility needs.
    • The white theme produces a solid white background with dark blue text.
    • The solid theme produces a solid dark blue background with white text.

  • Default value: If nothing else is specified, the block will be the blue gradient.
  • Required: No

Video size

  • Syntax:

<il-video-feature size="small" src="https://mediaspace.illinois.edu/media/t/1_0o2ypqvp">
<p>Your content here</p>
</il-video-feature>

  • Default value: If a size is not specified, the video will take about 1/2 the width of a desktop view of the page.
  • Size options:
    • The small size makes the video take about 1/3 of the width of a desktop view of the page.
    • The large size makes the video take about 2/3 of the width of a desktop view of the page.
  • Required: No
