<h3>Shortcode</h3>
<p>You can manually place sharing buttons anywhere using the shortcode:</p>
<pre><code>[lightshare]
</code></pre>
<p>With custom options:</p>
<pre><code>[lightshare networks="facebook,twitter,linkedin" style="rounded"]<h3>Block</h3>
</code></pre>
<p>Lightshare includes a block for the block editor:</p>
<ul>
<li>Block name: “Lightshare Buttons”</li>
<li>Allows selecting networks (comma-separated), label visibility, and label text</li>
<li>Rendered server-side for accurate output</li>
</ul>

<li>Extensible through filters and actions</li>
<li>Clean, semantic HTML output</li>
<li>Customizable through CSS classes</li>
</ul>
<h3>External services</h3>
<p>Lightshare does not call third-party APIs in the background. External requests only happen when a visitor clicks a share button. When a share button is clicked, the destination service receives the share data in the URL query string (for example: current page URL, page title, and for Pinterest also an image URL when available).</p>
