* Add embed plugin, which allows embedding content from google maps, video,

  calendar, and youtube. Normally, the htmlsanitiser eats these since they
  use unsafe tags, the embed plugin overrides it for trusted sites.
* The googlecalendar plugin is now deprecated, and will be removed
  eventually. Please switch to using the embed plugin.

+[[tag type/html]]
+
+This plugin allows embedding content from external sites on 
+wiki pages.
+
+Normally, the [[htmlscrubber]] does not allow the tags that are used for
+embedding content from external sites, since `<iframe>`, `<embed>`, and
+`<object>` tags can be used for various sorts of attacks. This plugin
+allows such tags to be put on a page, if they look like they are safe.
+
+In the examples below, the parts of the html that you can change are denoted
+with "XXX"; everything else must appear exactly as shown to be accepted by the
+plugin.
+
+## google maps
+
+Use html like this to embed a map:
+
+	<iframe width="XXX" height="XXX" frameborder="XXX" scrolling="XXXX" marginheight="XXXX" marginwidth="XXXX" src="http://maps.google.com/?XXX"></iframe>
+
+(This method only allows embeddeding a simple map. To use the full
+[Google Maps API](http://www.google.com/apis/maps/) from ikiwiki, including
+drawing points and GPS tracks on the map, try the [[contrib/googlemaps]]
+plugin.)
+
+## youtube
+
+Use html like this to embed a video:
+
+	<object width="XXX" height="XXX"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/XXX"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param>
+	<embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/XXX" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="XXX" height="XXX"></embed></object>
+
+## google video
+
+Use html like this to embed a video:
+
+	<embed style="width:XXXpx; height:XXXpx;" id="XXX" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://video.google.com/googleplayer.swf?XXX" flashvars=""></embed>
+
+## google calendar
+
+Use html like this to embed a calendar:
+
+	<iframe src="http://www.google.com/calendar/embed?XXX" style="border-width:XXX" width="XXX" frameborder="XXX" height="XXX"></iframe>
