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 customdata-*name/value pair for cases where no semantic element is appropriate. - Link attributes for adding one custom
data-*name/value pair and an optionalaria-labelto 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.
