Have you ever been asked to embed something in a Joomla! article? Something from slideshare, maybe a Youtube video or a flipbook on Issuu? Was your first reflex to search the JED for a plug-in that did just that? You might end up installing multiple plug-ins that way. Sourcerer makes most of these plug-ins obsolete.
Sourcerer - the Swiss Knife of embedding

Sourcerer is a Nonumber extension that focuses on one thing only. It helps you to embed anything you can think of into your Joomla! articles or modules. Whether you want to add javascript or PHP inside your article, or want to insert that funny youtube video - Sourcerer is the plug-in for you.
Easy to use
Since it allows you to embed mostly any code you can think of, this is a rather powerful tool. But it's easy to use, as well. All you need to do, is click a button and paste your code in the right place, then save the article.
Conclusion
Sourcerer is one of those tools that will always come in handy when you're actively updating your content. Since it replaces other plug-ins you might only use once or twice, I believe it's a perfect addition to your toolset.
Sourcerer is an extension by Nonumber. There is both a free and commercial version available.
