NOTE: this plugin is targeted to advanced users and professionals – it requires some configuration tasks and won’t work out-of-the-box!
The plugin is used to display Email addresses as an image – automatically. 
This will stop harvesters and crawlers from gathering sensitive data from your website. 
It works with emails, telephone numbers, postal addresses or any other text-content. 
Just wrap your E-Mail-Address into a shortcode like <code>[email]youraddress@example.com[/email]</code> – that’s it. 
Or use the Autodetect filter to transform every E-Mail-Address on your page automatically into an image!

<h3>Text-Transformations</h3>
The @-sign as well as dot’s within the e-mail-addresses can be automatically replaced by different placeholders, e.g. <code>mail(at)example{dot}org</code>, to match your website’s corporate design.
<h3>Security Modes</h3>
Cryptex provides various obfuscation modes for E-Mail-Addresses:
<ul>
<li>Plain Text – only text-transformations are applied – no use of images</li>
<li>Single Image – the e-mail-address is expressed as a single image </li>
<li>Multipart Image – the e-mail-address is splitted into two images, seperated by the @-sign in plain text</li>
<li>Advanced Multipart Image – the craziest one: each part (divided by dot’s and @ sign) is displayed as a seperate image, the dividers as plain text</li>
</ul>
