<p>A set of shortcodes for the website administrators.</p>
<h4>if</h4>
<p>Using this shortcode you can limit the display of the text or shortcodes to specific page(s) on your website. You can use all the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags" rel="nofollow ugc">conditional tags</a> WordPress provides. Checkout examples below.</p>
<p>Show text only on the homepage:</p>
<pre><code>[if is_front_page] The text [/if]
</code></pre>
<p>Show text only on the About page of the site:</p>
<pre><code>[if is_page="about"] The text [/if]
</code></pre>
<p>Show only on the category archive view:</p>
<pre><code>[if is_category] The text [/if]
</code></pre>
<p>You can add “not_” before the conditional tag to reverse the logic, example:<br />
Show on all pages of the site except the homepage:</p>
<pre><code>[if not_is_front_page] The text [/if]
</code></pre>
<p>Using multiple parameters, the content is displayed when either of the conditions are met (“OR” comparison), for example, show text on both category and tag archive pages:</p>
<pre><code>[if is_category is_tag] The text [/if]
</code></pre>
<p>To set multiple conditions you can nest the shortcode, for example show text only on homepage AND if the user is logged in:</p>
<pre><code>[if is_user_logged_in][if is_front_page] The text [/if][/if]
</code></pre>
<p>Show a link to wordpress.org site, only on single post pages and only on mobile devices:</p>
<pre><code>[if wp_is_mobile][if is_single] <a href="https://wordpress.org/">WordPress</a> [/if][/if]
</code></pre>
<h4>switch_to_blog</h4>
<p>Run shortcodes in the context of another website in the network. This shortcode is only available in multisite installations (WP Network). For example, list posts from another blog:</p>
<pre><code>[switch_to_blog id="10"] [list_posts limit="10"] [/switch_to_blog]
</code></pre>
<h4>iterator</h4>
<p>Display text or shortcodes only if repeated a certain number of times. Requires an “id” parameter which should be unique for that shortcode (can be anything you want).</p>
<pre><code>[iterator id="my-ads" repeat="5"] My ad codes [/iterator]
</code></pre>
<p>After every 5th call to that shortcode, render the output.</p>
<h4>get_template</h4>
<p>Load a template file into the page. The referenced file is loaded from child theme if it exists, if not from the parent theme. Example, load includes/slider.php template file from the theme:</p>
<pre><code>[get_template slug="includes/slider"]
</code></pre>
<h4>scheduler</h4>
<p>Show text or shortcodes only if the specified date has passed. Example, show the text only if it’s after Christmas of 2016:</p>
<pre><code>[scheduler date="December 25, 2016"] Text [/scheduler]
</code></pre>
<h4>date</h4>

<li>after : show a text after the value of the field</li>

<p><strong>Inline Context</strong> is a powerful Block Editor enhancement that lets you create inline expandable notes or clean tooltip-style popovers anywhere in your content. It is ideal for <strong>content-rich websites</strong>, including editorial platforms, research sites, online magazines, documentation hubs, and educational blogs that rely on clear explanation without breaking the reader’s focus.</p>
<p>Instead of sending readers to glossary pages or external links, Inline Context allows you to provide definitions, references, clarifications, and annotations <em>in place</em> — keeping readers engaged and your content structured.</p>
<p>Notes can be <strong>reusable</strong>, categorized, styled, centrally managed, and automatically updated everywhere they appear.</p>
<p><a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/inline-context/?preview=1" rel="ugc">Check the live preview</a></p>
<h4>Why this is valuable for content-heavy websites</h4>
<p>Websites with substantial text often need:</p>
<ul>
<li>definitions and terminology</li>
<li>source references</li>
<li>background information</li>
<li>contextual inline explanations</li>
<li>mini footnotes without scrolling</li>
<li>inline callouts, tips, or warnings</li>
</ul>
<p>Inline Context delivers all of this with a frictionless, accessible user experience. It helps readers stay focused, reduces navigation fatigue, and improves knowledge retention — especially in long articles or research-based content.</p>
<h4>How it works</h4>
<ol>
<li>Highlight text in the Block Editor.</li>
<li>Click <strong>Inline Context</strong>.</li>
<li>Enter your note content (rich text supported).</li>
<li>Optionally assign a category with custom icon & color.</li>
<li>Publish — your note appears inline or as a tooltip, depending on settings.</li>
</ol>
<p>You can also create <strong>reusable</strong> notes from a dedicated Custom Post Type. Updating a reusable note updates all instances site-wide.</p>

<h3>Internationalization</h3>
<p>Inline Context is fully translation-ready.</p>
<h3>Examples & inspiration</h3>
<p>The idea for this plugin originated from a project with Renée Kool — a visual artist working in public art, film, and emerging media. She wanted to create a website where a single link could reveal additional content containing multiple related links. We looked at the Dutch journalism platform De Correspondent, which use subtle inline notes to provide context without interrupting the flow of reading. You can see examples of their inline notes in this article: <a href="https://decorrespondent.nl/15887/hoe-nederland-kampioen-deeltijdwerken-werd/9053b712-3591-0002-29b3-8c7b69eae0c3" rel="nofollow ugc">Hoe Nederland kampioen deeltijdwerken werd</a></p>
<h3>Source code</h3>
<p>Inline Context uses <code>@wordpress/scripts</code> with webpack and npm to build assets.</p>
