There are some issues with {{% pattern "CodePen embedding" %}}, like them not working offline. They also come with CodePen branding, which will clash with the pattern you're trying to illustrate.

Infusion offers another option: a special demo shortcode that allows you to write HTML, CSS, and JavaScript directly into the markdown file. The outputted demo is encapsulated using Shadow DOM, so you don't have to worry about broken styles and global JS.

Here's the example code for an inline demo of a toggle button:

{{}} {{<demo>}} <button aria-pressed="false">Toggle Me</button> <style> button { background: DarkCyan; color: white; border: 0; font-size: 1.5rem; padding: 0.5em 1em; border-right: 5px solid #000; border-bottom: 5px solid #000; }

[aria-pressed="true"] { border: 0; border-top: 5px solid #000; border-left: 5px solid #000; } </style> <script> var toggle = demo.querySelector('[aria-pressed]');

toggle.addEventListener('click', (e) => {
let pressed = e.target.getAttribute('aria-pressed') === 'true'; e.target.setAttribute('aria-pressed', !pressed); }); </script> {{</demo>}} {{}}

Note the demo.querySelector on line 21. Infusion automatically provides demo, representing the root node of the demo. It's like the document keyword but for a demo's subtree.

Here's a live demo of… the demo:

{{}} Toggle Me

{{}}

{{% note %}} Firefox does not currently support Shadow DOM and Infusion does not include a polyfill. Firefox will output an error message. These demos function correctly in Chrome, Safari, and Opera. {{% /note %}}
