<p>This plugin displays the content of a file in a post. The content of the file<br />
(called a “snippet”) is put in a <code><pre></pre></code> block by default.</p>
<p>It has the following advantages over pasting the content of the file in your post<br />
yourself:</p>
<ul>
<li>When the file is modified, no need to modify the posts referring to it</li>
<li>Indentation is preserved by default (useful to show code snippets)</li>
<li>Can optionally provide a link to the file (no need to copy-paste your snippet)</li>
</ul>
<p>If requested (see the <code>preserveformat</code> parameter), the content of the file<br />
is put in a <code><div></div></code> block, with each line (delimited by<br />
the carriage return) in its own <code><p></p></code> block.</p>
<h4>Usage</h4>
<p>Syntax: <code>[file lang="some_lang" start="a_line_number" end="a_line_number" link="on_or_off" style="some_style_properties" preserveformat="on_or_off"]path/to/your/file[/file]</code></p>
<p>Note: The order of the attributes is mandatory!</p>
<h4>Example: Inlining of a file</h4>
<p>In your post, write <code>[file]path/to/your/file[/file]</code>. That’s it!</p>
<h4>Example: Using a syntax highlighter plugin</h4>
<p>If you write <code>[file lang="cpp"]path/to/your/file[/file]</code> (for instance),<br />
and if the syntax highlighter plugin you use supports<br />
the <code><pre lang="*"></pre></code> syntax (most does), then the content<br />
of your file will be processed by the syntax highlighter plugin as usual.</p>
<h4>Example: Provide a link to the file</h4>
<p>If you write <code>[file link="on"]path/to/your/file[/file]</code>, a link will<br />
be automatically added to the top left of the text area.</p>
<h4>Example: Inline a subset of a file</h4>
<p>If you write <code>[file start="10" end="20"]path/to/your/file[/file]</code>,<br />
only the lines 10 to 20 of the file will be displayed. You can omit the start<br />
(ie. “from beginning to line 20”) or the end (ie. “from line 10 to the end of<br />
the file”) if you want.</p>
<h4>Example: Set the color of the text to red</h4>
<p>In your post, write <code>[file style="color: #FF0000;"]path/to/your/file[/file]</code>.</p>
<h4>Example: Prevent the plugin to process a [file][/file] block</h4>
<p>Just write <code>[file off]your content[/file]</code>.</p>
<p>Note: The ‘off’ attribute must come BEFORE any other ones.</p>

<p>Front-end Editor is a plugin that lets you make changes to your content <em>directly</em> from your site. No need to load the admin backend just to correct a typo.</p>
<p>It makes the same <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities" rel="nofollow ugc">capability</a> checks, so that if a user isn’t allowed to edit something in wp-admin, they aren’t allowed to edit it in the front-end either.</p>
<p>You can edit posts, pages, custom post types, comments, widgets and many <a href="http://github.com/scribu/wp-front-end-editor/wiki/List-of-editable-elements" rel="nofollow ugc">more elements</a>.</p>
<p><strong>Goals:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>save as many trips to the backend as possible</li>
<li>compatible with any theme, out of the box</li>
<li>light and fast</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Support and development:</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/front-end-editor" rel="ugc">Support</a> is handled by the lovely <a href="https://wordpress.org/support/profile/designsimply" rel="ugc">designsimply</a>.</p>
<p>I am not developing the plugin anymore; only applying the patches that other people send via <a href="https://github.com/scribu/wp-front-end-editor/" rel="nofollow ugc">Github</a>.</p>
