Sometimes just pictures of the pattern you're documenting aren't enough. Interactive patterns benefit from live demos, so that readers can test their functionality.

Infusion offers a couple of ways to do this. The first is by embedding CodePen demos into the content. The codePen shortcode takes just one argument: the codePen's ID.

{{}} {{% codePen VpVNKW %}} {{}}

This will embed the identified codePen into the content wherever you placed the shortcode, with the result view showing by default:

{{% codePen VpVNKW %}}

{{% warning %}} The compiled site will output an error if your config.toml does not include your CodePen username (in the codePenUser parameter). This is needed to construct the embed URL. {{% /warning %}}

Infusion also supports the ability to write inline demos directly in markdown files. See {{% pattern "Writing inline demos" %}}.
