I've updated the PR title to "Discourage embed component usage for all asset types" to reflect the current scope. The PR description was also auto-regenerated and now accurately describes the changes, including:
The description also includes important review notes about the scope change (from adding warnings to completely removing the embed docs) and potential impacts like broken links that may need redirects. |
Remove embed component docs and create separate Download page
Summary
This PR completely removes the
<embed>component documentation page and creates a new standalone<Download>component page. It also updates the markdown content guide to discourage using<embed>for images, PDFs, and videos, recommending alternatives like<iframe>,<video>, and<img>instead.Key changes:
embed.mdxentirely and removed it from navigationdownload.mdxpage documenting the<Download>componentmarkdown.mdxto add warnings against using<embed>for images, videos, and PDFs<iframe>for PDFs instead of<embed>Review & Testing Checklist for Human
<embed>will have no reference docs. Is this the intended behavior or should we keep the page with strong warnings instead?embed.mdxmeans any links to/learn/docs/writing-content/components/embedwill now 404. Search the docs for references to this path and verify they're all updated or redirected.<iframe src="path/to/pdf.pdf">actually works well across browsers (especially Safari desktop/mobile) and is better than<embed>. I haven't tested this recommendation.fern/docs.ymladds a redirect from/learn/docs/writing-content/components/downloadto itself. This seems like an error - should it redirect from the old embed path?Notes
