Add release helper script (#64)
This commit adds a release helper script, amongst other workflow improvements.

See `README.md` for instructions, and `_tools/release.sh` for the script itself.

This script:

1. sanity-checks the various version tags;
2. triggers a Plugin build;
3. flags the new version as pre-release;
4. tags the version in Git;
5. creates a local working copy of the SVN repo;
6. copies the new release to the local `trunk/` (whilst keeping the ‘Stable Tag’ field in `readme.txt` pointing to the previous stable version);
7. copies the commit message from the changelog in `readme.txt`; and
8. (if a flag is set) commits the changes to the remote `trunk/`.

Pushing out a new release must still be done manually, once `trunk/` is tested and working. To do so, check out a local copy of `trunk/` and:

1. update the ‘Stable Tag’ field in `trunk/readme.txt` to the new version;
2. update the ‘Version’ field in the comment header of `trunk/footnotes.php` to the new version;
3. remove the ‘p’ from the end of the ‘version’ tag in the `getInfo()` function at the bottom of `js/wsiwyg-editor.js`; 
4. copy a new tag for the release from `trunk/` (`svn cp trunk tags/<version number>`); and
5. commit your changes (`svn ci -m "Release version <version number>"`).

The WP Plugin Directory will automatically parse the ‘Stable Tag’ field in `trunk/readme.txt`, and inform users that a new version is available.

At various stages user input is required to validate information. This is not ready for automation with GitHub Actions, but is a useful step on the way — see [this piece](https://blog.danslimmon.com/2019/07/15/do-nothing-scripting-the-key-to-gradual-automation/) for more info.

Unless a `-c` flag is passed (e.g., by running `composer run release:commit`) no changes will take place on the remote SVN repo. If you want to test this out on a branch other than `main`, uncomment lines 31 & 52 of the script.

Version checking enforces the versioning rules stated [here](https://github.com/markcheret/footnotes/wiki/Versioning).

**NB: I have not tested the `-c` mode yet, as I wanted people will more familiarity with the SVN to have a look at it before I risked making any changes and blowing everything up.**

Description

Featured on wpmudev — cheers for the review, folks!

footnotes aims to be the all-in-one solution for displaying an automatically generated list of references on your Page or Post. The Plugin ships with a set of defaults while also empowering you to control how your footnotes are being displayed.

footnotes gives you the ability to display well-formatted footnotes on your WordPress Pages and Posts — those footnotes we know from offline publishing.

Getting Started

  1. Read the contributing guidelines
  2. Clone this repository (git clone git@github.com:markcheret/footnotes.git)
    • We recommend that you use VVV for your local testing environment
  3. Install Composer, if you don't have it already
  4. Install dependencies (composer install)
    • You will have to install php-mbstring manually if you do not already have it.

Code Formatting

  1. Run composer run lint-php to lint all PHP files
  2. Run composer run lint-php:fix to attempt to automatically fix errors and warnings

Releasing

  1. Run composer run release

Building

  1. Run _tools/build-stylesheets.sh -c to concatenate stylesheets
  2. Manually minify the output files in css/tmp/, saving them as .min.css files
  • The intention is to replace this with automated minification, meaning that all of these steps can be rolled into a single build command.
  1. Run _tools/build-stylesheets.sh -d to deploy the minified files to dist/
  • this will delete any existing dist/ folder
  1. Run composer run build to move over the remaining files to dist/
  • Currently, the files to include in a distribution are hard-coded in _tools/build.sh
  • The intention is to replace this with a proper parsing of the .distignore file

Updating Documentation

  1. Run composer run docs

Testing

Unit tests are TODO.

Main Features

  • Fully customizable footnotes start and end shortcodes;
  • Styled tooltips supporting hyperlinks display footnotes or a dedicated text;
  • Responsive Reference Container at the end or positioned by shortcode;
  • Display the footnotes Reference Container inside a Widget;
  • Wide choice of numbering styles;
  • Freely configurable and optional backlink symbol;
  • Configure the footnotes' appearance by dashboard settings and Custom CSS style rules;
  • Button in both the Visual and the Text editor to add shortcodes around selection.

Example Usage

These are a few examples of possible ways to delimit footnotes:

  1. Your awesome text((with an awesome footnote))
  2. Your awesome text[ref]with an awesome footnote[/ref]
  3. Your awesome text<fn>with an awesome footnote</fn>
  4. Your awesome textcustom-shortcodewith an awesome footnotecustom-shortcode
