MD Composer extras

[Johani (Joe)]

A tag like [center] will still require a plugin but you’re correct @Steven

At the time of this component’s creation you had to use HTML <div> tags. However, you can now use [wrap="foo"][/wrap] in themes / components.

You can read more about that here

Generic bbcode wrapper for theme components

I added this feature a while back and realised I didn’t post about it. You can now use a special syntax in markdown to have it cooked and usable in theme components without having to write a plugin. // wrapped in div.d-wrap [wrap=baz foo=bar]Content[/wrap] // wrapped in div.d-wrap [wrap=baz foo=bar] Content [/wrap] // wrapped in div.d-wrap [wrap=baz foo=bar] [/wrap] // this one will be rendered as a span.d-wrap instead of a div.d-wrap a [wrap=baz]Content[/wrap] b The name of the component w…

Here’s a simple example

[wrap="center"] 
Some center aligned text 
[/wrap]

would create this markup when the post is cooked

<div class="d-wrap" data-wrap="center">
  <p>Some center aligned text</p>
</div>

which you can then target with a CSS attribute selector like so

[data-wrap="center"] {
  text-align: center;
}

and that would create something like this in both the composer preview and the rendered post

or

[wrap="right"] 
Some right aligned text 
[/wrap]

and that would result in this cooked markup

<div class="d-wrap" data-wrap="right">
  <p>Some center aligned text</p>
</div>

You can then add this CSS

[data-wrap="right"] {
  text-align: right;
}

for this result

Since the component currently uses the HTML align attribute, this change should be 100% backwards compatible.

Give it a go whenever you have the time and feel free to PM me if you have any questions about that.
