The Share-post extension will embed a copy of a social media post in a Quarto document.

quarto add dragonstyle/share-post

This will install the extension under the _extensions subdirectory. If you're using version control, you will want to check in this directory.

Simply place the shortcode where you'd like placeholder content to be generated. Be default, the lipsum shortcode will emit 5 paragraphs of lipsum. For example:

{{< share-post https://sciencemastodon.com/@gdyson/111371030805595929 >}}

Share-post currently supports the following services, and should generate a formatted, embedded post from them.

• Mastodon
• LinkedIn
• Threads
• Instagram
• Pinterest
• Twitter

Here is the source code for a minimal example: example.qmd.
