Provide oEmbed tags/endpoint

[chrisblech]

Social platforms, CMS, and discussion boards are more and more automatically generating a "Preview-box" (or "Onebox") when a user shares a Hyperlink.

"oEmbed is a format for allowing an embedded representation of a URL on third party sites. The simple API allows a website to display embedded content (such as photos or videos) when a user posts a link to that resource, without having to parse the resource directly." (quoted from http://oembed.com)

When I paste a link to my DokuWiki, my discussion board doesn't find any oEmbed Infos, and therefore it shows only the naked URL, instead of a nice preview of the DokuWiki Article.

Is it possible to include oEmbed Provider functionality to DokuWiki (similar to RSS)?

• add a header <link rel="alternate" type="application/json+oembed" ... > to every page
• provide a JSON Output with title, first paragraph, and a picture of the requested wiki page

Why not implement this as a plugin? That's quite possible.

That does not provide the oembed endpoint that this ticket is about
