footnotes

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 will be displayed.

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

Features

This Plugin provides:

• fully customizable footnote start and end shortcodes;
• stylable tooltips supporting hyperlinks and dedicated text;
• a responsive 'reference container', with customisable positioning;
• a wide choice of different numbering styles;
• a freely-configurable and optional backlink symbol;
• footnote appearance customisation via dashboard settings and custom CSS style rules; and
• editor buttons for easily adding shortcode tags.

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 and NPM; and
4. install all dependencies (composer install):
   • you will have to install php-mbstring manually if you do not already have it.

Deploying

Automated release deployments will be introduced soon.

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.
3. run _tools/build-stylesheets.sh -d to deploy the minified files to dist/:
   • this will delete any existing dist/ folder!
4. 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; but
   • the intention is to replace this with a proper parsing of the .distignore file

Releasing

1. Ensure that you have configured your Git config. with SVN credentials;
2. run the above build commands; and
3. run composer run release and follow the prompts.

Testing

Automated testing will be introduced soon.
