I've got some Sway content that I would perfer displaying in Umbraco rather than linking to it.
I'm new and figured that this has been done. I've pasted an embed code on a page and while it runs the resulting window is too small to display the full content unless I leave Umbraco and go directly to Sway for rendering.
Sure!
As you are working on a project in Sway there is a menu item in the upper left 'Share'
From here it is only a matter of getting the embedded code and pasting that into a 'rich text edit' window in my Umbraco page.
What happens is that even though I might provide a full width area for item it is going to display at the width of the embedded codes 'iframe'.
Obviously the simple solution is to increase the size of the iframe to compensate, but my concern there is that this potentially defeats the formatting of Umbraco for different platforms (tablet, smart phone, etc).
Because this was my first post it was delayed getting released for manual review, so I opted to attempt to recreate the Sway inside of Umbraco. This was successful but not quite what I wanted to accomplish.
I've done some more experimenting with adding Sway content and it is entirely possible with embedding and works 'okay'. The problem you run into is that Sway interprets what it renders based on the iframe setup in the embed statement. This means that without a lot of fuss there is no sensing for the format of the display being used.
I'm taking Sway off my list and looking for other approaches.
Best practice: adding 'Microsoft Sway' content

Thoughts?
Hi Kip
Can you show how did you paste 'Microsoft Sway' content to Umbraco?
