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

Uplink Editorial Semantics adds editorial markup tools to Rich Text fields in the WordPress Block Editor. The saved content uses standard HTML and does not require front-end JavaScript.

Inline formats:

  • Inline quotation ( q ) with optional BCP 47 language and citation URL attributes.
  • Citation ( cite ) for the title of a creative work.
  • Abbreviation ( abbr ) with a required expanded form.
  • Defining instance ( dfn ) for the occurrence of a term being defined.
  • Inline span ( span ) with optional sanitized CSS classes and one custom data-* name/value pair for cases where no semantic element is appropriate.
  • Link attributes for adding one custom data-* name/value pair and an optional aria-label to an existing native hyperlink.
  • Change case for converting selected text to sentence case, lowercase, uppercase, capitalized words, or toggled case without removing its inline formatting.

The Editorial Quotation block saves a figure containing a blockquote and an optional figcaption. Its quotation area accepts Paragraph, Heading, and List blocks. The plugin supplies no front-end styling, allowing the active theme to control presentation.
