## General

### Reference

[**AMP Reference**](https://www.ampproject.org/docs/reference/components/ads/amp-ad)

#### Required Parameters

* `network` (if not set in the AMP-HTML configuration)
* `size` (or `width` & `height`)

#### Structure

    <%= amp_embed(network, options) %>
    # <amp-ad type=network layout="responsive"></amp-ad>

**Note:** `layout` defaults to `responsive` if not explicitly permitted.


## Examples

Setting width & height:

    <%= amp_embed("a9", width: 400, height: 300) %>
    <%= amp_embed("a9", size: "400x300") %>
    # <amp-ad type="a9" layout="responsive" width=400 height=300></amp-ad>

Creating a sticky ad at the bottom of the viewport:

    <%= amp_embed("a9", sticky: true) %>
    # <amp-sticky-ad layout="nodisplay">
    #     <amp-ad type="a9" layout="responsive"></amp-ad>
    # </amp-sticky-ad>

Setting a placeholder:

    <%= amp_embed("a9", placeholder: "my-ad-screencap.jpg") %>
    # <amp-ad type="a9" layout="responsive">
    #     <amp-img placeholder src="my-ad-screencap.jpg"></amp-img>
    # </amp-ad>

Setting a fallback:

    <%= amp_embed("a9", fallback: "my-ad-screencap.jpg") %>
    # <amp-ad type="a9" layout="responsive">
    #     <amp-img fallback src="my-ad-screencap.jpg"></amp-img>
    # </amp-ad>

**Note:** Currently you can only pass `sticky` **or** `placeholder` **or** `fallback` as an option.

`amp_ad` also takes a block:

    <%= amp_embed("a9", options) do %>
        <%= amp_placeholder("amp-img", src: "my-ad-screencap.jpg") %>
        <%= amp_fallback("amp-img", src: "my-ad-screencap.jpg") %>
    <% end %>
    # <amp-ad type="a9" layout="responsive">
    #     <amp-img placeholder src="my-ad-screencap.jpg"></amp-img>
    #     <amp-img fallback src="my-ad-screencap.jpg"></amp-img>
    # </amp-ad>
