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 current defaults but also empowers 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:Rumperuu/footnotes.git)
  3. Install Composer, if you don't have it already
  4. Install dependencies (composer install)
  5. Create a new branch from main (git checkout -b <your-descriptive-branch-name>)
  6. When you're finished, commit your changes to the remote version of your branch and submit a pull request.

Checking WP Coding Standard Compliance

  1. Run PHP_CodeSniffer on the file(s) you want to check (./vendor/bin/phpcs --standard="WordPress" --colors --encoding=utf-8 -n -p <file(s)>)
  2. (If applicable) run the PHP Code Beautifier and Formatter to attempt to automatically fix any errors (./vendor/bin/phpcbf --standard="WordPress" --encoding=utf-8 -n -p <file(s)>)
  • You can run either across the entire project by adding the argument --ignore=*/vendor/* and targetting the file */**/*.php

Updating Documentation

  1. Install phpDocumentor
  2. Run it (phpDocumentor -d . -t docs)

Testing

Unit tests are TODO.
