Usage

This plugin makes use of WordPress Shortcode API (additional information can be found in the codex here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Shortcode_API)

The basic shortcode usage is [aside]CONTENT[/aside]. The default values of the shortcode are type: aside; and, status: open.

• [aside]CONTENT[/aside] = [aside type="aside" status="open"]CONTENT[/aside]

To use the [aside] shortcode and have it initially “closed” any status other than “open” will work as the plugin will change the status to “closed” if it is not equal to “open”.

The pre-defined aside types currently included:

• Note – uses the theme element’s default text color on a Light Grey background
• Rant – uses black text on a red background with a non-repeating flame graphic
• Changelog – sets the font to monospace, reminiscent of type written notes
• Footnote – uses lower-case roman numerals when the items are written using an (HTML) ordered list
• Nota Bene (NB) – italicizes the text within the aside
• Black text on a transparent background with a non-repeating hat graphic
• Correction – Black text on a transparent background with a non-repeating checkbox graphic
• Update – Black text on a transparent background with a non-repeating circular arrow graphic

See the frequently asked questions section for how to add your own custom type.
