allow H5P items to be embedded into course pages as an option.

@thomasmars. Is this an idea the H5P team would consider, adding auto embedding options for h5P items on a course page.

FYI - we've had several clients who have wanted to embed H5P content in other locations too (inside book/lesson modules etc.) so one of our devs wrote a small filter that manages this for us.
https://github.com/catalyst/moodle-filter_hvpinsert

Basically you add the h5p activity to the course as usual and then as long as the filter is enabled you basically type:
[[hvp_mod:activity id number]]

where you want the H5P to display anywhere in the course

we haven't dropped this in the plugins db yet, but would be happy for H5P to take it over if you thought it looked useful!

@danmarsden Looks great, I've created an issue ( https://h5ptechnology.atlassian.net/browse/HFP-2476 ) for looking into finding an official use for the filter, should be useful for anyone who embeds H5Ps a lot.

cool - it might be able to change to using the embed.php file instead of the custom copy of view.php but I haven't had a chance to look closely at the code. (it's also mainly used on older Moodle or Totara sites so doesn't have the privacy api stuff implemented.)
