Embed a tweet in a blogdown post

Question

I want to embed a tweet with an image. When I embed a tweet on a blogdown post using shortcodes it does not appear in the twitter style

For example using the shortcode:

{{< tweet 989470885475008512 >}} 

I get an output (my blogdown uses the academic theme)

rather than this (as shown in the blogdown guide)...

Is there a way to override this behavior to get the appearance like this second example or to embed a tweet following the dev titter guidelines (which when I paste the html code in gives output like the first image above).

I am guessing, but I think the loss of twitter style in the embedded tweet restricts the possibility to embed a tweet with an image (it gives similar output to the first example along with the image url).

UPDATE

This is a browser (Firefox) issue (as suggested by @hplieninger). The twitter style appears when viewing the page in Chrome.

Answer 1

Try this:

```{r echo=FALSE}
blogdown::shortcode('tweet', '989470885475008512')
```

Should work.

Answer 2

Instead of copying the id of the tweet, simply click the drop-down icon at the top-right of the tweet, then select "Embed Tweet", copy the code and paste it into your markdown post. Go to your browser and you should see the effect.
