How can I properly embed a Tweet on Steemit?
There has to be a person out there that can help me with this. When I try to embed a Tweet in one of my posts using the embed HTML that Twitter provides (and that works on most sites) this is what the Tweet ends up looking like:

There has to be a work-around to correct this situation. Do any of you have any ideas? Thanks!
You can straight away copy the html code that pop up when you click embed tweet and pasted it. But for some reason em dash doesn't not convert to —.
Thanks for replying. The em dash problem is something I could live with, the fact that a proper looking Tweet does not appear like on a normal page is what I want to fix. I want to be able to post a tweet and have people be able to click on the reply, retweet, or like buttons that are supposed to show up right below the Tweet. Thanks
I doubt you can embed javascripts in markdown. Javascript need inorder to get those functionality.
Ok that is a good point. I thank you so much for taking the time to try and help me on this. I am confident Steem will eventually fix the problem and we will be able to add Tweets like on other social media platforms.
Hey I am new here and literally just wrote something about this too. and @twitterbot responded 'but' it's a bot so I Don't know if it can explain to me how they did that. IF you happen to have found a solution please let me know. I'm going to go see if anyone else came up with it and put it in 'written form' :)
It is a bot.
lol I realized that late!
Lets hope that the Steemit development team would be able to do it for Tweets like they do for YouTube videos.
(I am trying to get my head around embedding an Instagram post. Sites like Buzzfeed and Thrive do the embedding well.)
