<p>If you use Google Docs to edit and revise content with a team of people, you can now create a draft blog post or page in WordPress without cluttering your web content with inappropriate HTML and inline styles. The tool extracts images and allows you to download them or import them directly into WordPress.</p>
<p>This simplifies what would otherwise be a multistep process of</p>
<ul>
<li>Either pasting into the rich text editor or cleaning up the HTML or pasting into code view and recreating styling</li>
<li>Downloading images from Google Docs, one at a time</li>
<li>Uploading images into WordPress</li>
</ul>
<p>Originally created for use by the <a href="https://www.similarweb.com/corp/blog/insights/" rel="nofollow ugc">Insights Newsroom team at Similarweb</a>, this plugin allows editorial teams to collaborate on the writing and editing of a document, including image placement, in Google Docs, quickly turn that content into a draft blog post, and then tweak as necessary in the blog editor.</p>
<p>Works with either the block editor or the classic editor.</p>
<p>For the block editor, basic block metadata is added for paragraphs, headings, unordered lists, and images. Any other content will be displayed as classic blocks, with the option to use the Convert to Blocks function of the editor.</p>
<p>The shortcode [draft_from_google_docs] is available for including this functionality on a public web page. In that case, the content is not imported directly into WordPress but displayed in a format that allows it to be copied and pasted into the WordPress editor. In that case, images associated with the document are displayed in a format that allows you to download them into your computer and upload them one by one into your post or page. Including the download_ok=”1″ attribute within the shortcode means the images will be downloaded into the local WordPress instance. Otherwise, the download links will point to the Google Cloud url for those images.</p>

<p>Easily embed documents supported by Google Docs (PDF/DOC/DOCX/PPTX/etc)with a simple shortcode <code>[gviewer]</code></p>
<p>Ex. [gviewer file=”https://example.com/thisismyfile.pdf”]</p>
<p>A full list of attributes:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>file</code> — <strong>Required</strong>. The URL of the file you wish to show</li>
<li><code>width</code> — Optional. The desired width of the viewer in pixels. If no width is set, the value of the theme’s <code>$content_width</code> will be used. If no value is set, the width will default to 600 px.</li>
<li><code>height</code> — Optional. The desired height of the viewer in pixels. If height is set, the height will 1.2 times the width. For example, if the width is 100 px, the height will be 120 px.</li>
<li><code>language</code> — The language of the document. If the document is written in a right-to-left (RTL) language (like Hebrew and Arabic), specifying the language will apply RTL settings.</li>
</ul>
<p>Another way to embed a Google Document is by using the template tag provided by the plugin in the source code. Here’s an example:</p>
<pre><code><?php

echo simple_gviewer_embed( 'https://.../file.pdf', $args );
</code></pre>
<p>The second argument, <code>$args</code>, is an associative array. Keys can be found in the list above.</p>
