      // See http://widgetgenerators.blogspot.com
      //
      // if oetag=0, just use video urls like:
      //           http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12345678901
      //           surrounded by white space (video tag can be used, too)
      // if oetag=1 (for nerdy blogs?), use syntax:
      //           [video=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12345678901]
      // config:
      var oetag = 0;           // see above
      var oetagname = "video"; // [video=zzz], maybe you like "embed" or "youtube" more?
      var oelazy = -1; // -1 detect, 0 = normal, 1 = lazy (needs lazy load hack)
