 Replying to [comment:23 wonderboymusic]:

 > `the_audio()` and `the_video()` are just wrappers for `get_the_media()`,
 which contains all of the black voodoo to return the HTML for an audio or
 video and remove it from the global post's content when appropriate. Does
 a post format check for meta only

 Lookin' awesome.

 One thing noticed in testing, if the video output is a bare URL it
 probably needs to be converted to embed before returning. @obenland noted
 in IRC, we should probably check there in {{{get_the_media()}}} whether
 the post meta value is an embeddable URL, similar to how we handle oEmbed
 in regular content.

 Could you also add a case for {{{the_image()}}}?

 Since it doesn't involve post meta, would be first checking the first
 attachment, then fallback to first image found in the post content.

 1. {{{ get_attached_images( ... ) }}} -- take the first result, return as
 output HTML
 2. {{{ get_content_image( ... ) }}} -- take 1st result, return as output
 HTML

 @obenland Can you please add your notes here about the {{{$pages}}} global
 versus {{{$post->post_content}}}?
