Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview
About this plugin
1).
Features:
Gutenberg block “Egyptian Hieroglyphs (MdC)” with a live preview while you type MdC.
Automatic MdC → Unicode conversion in the editor (supports quadrats with: and *, juxtaposition, lost signs, shading, red/black, etc.).
Per-block options: sign size, alignment, color, direction (right-to-left for classical Egyptian), sign spacing, shading and line height.
[hiero] shortcode for the classic editor: accepts MdC transliteration or Unicode hieroglyphic encoding, e.g. [hiero]ra-ms-sw[/hiero] or [hiero]𓂋𓄿[/hiero], and flows inline with the surrounding text.
MdC text composer in Settings → Egyptian Hieroglyphs: sign palette (Gardiner list), buttons for cartouches, quadrats and groups, live preview and copy of the result.
Scripts are only loaded on pages that contain hieroglyphs; the MdC parser (1.2 MB) is only loaded in the editor.
Signs are rendered as SVG: sharp at any size, and they can be copied and pasted.
MdC example: nTr:r renders the “god” sign (𓊹) above the “r” (𓂋) in a vertical quadrat; ra:Z1*t:Z1 combines quadrats with vertical and horizontal separators.
