GitBook Google Docs plugin

This plugin replaces links to Google Docs with the embedded content.

Add this plugin to your book.json file. All configurations are optional. The default values are shown below.

{
    "plugins": ["googledocs"],
    "pluginsConfig": {
        "googledocs": {
            "rm": "minimal",
            "frameborder": "0",
            "width": "100%",
            "height": "500px",
            "noembed": "new window"
        }
    }
}

Parameters

• rm= sets the render mode of the Google document. It can be full, minimal, embedded or demo.
• frameborder= sets the frameborder attribute for the IFRAME. "0" removes the border.
• width= sets the width of the IFRAME. "100%" makes the IFRAME occupy the full width of the screen.
• "height=" sets the height of the IFRAME.
• "noembed=". If a link's title has this string, it will not be embedded.

How it works

Google Docs URLs can be of this form:

http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key={key}&hl=en
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/{key}/edit#gid=0

This plugin replaces all links to URLs on docs.google.com or spreadsheets.google.com with an <iframe>. It also adds a ?rm=minimal option by default to remove controls (reference). You can configure this as part of the plugin configuration.

If the link has a title with the words "new window", it does not embed the iframe. For example:

[Non-embedded spreadsheet](http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key={key}&hl=en "Open in new window")

... will not embed the spreadsheet.

(You can change the string to look for by changing the noembed= parameter. The match is case-insensitive.)
