Features
- fully automatic splitter;
- create columns in table or div’s;
- tag-aware;
- splits long paragraphs and unordered lists;
- keeps text with headers;
Requirements
The plugin requires DOM API (http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.dom.php) and Tidy (http://www.php.net/manual/en/book.tidy.php)
Usage
Wrap block of text with [auto_columns]...[/auto_columns] shortcode. It will produce markup like
<div class="auto-columns-container columns-2">
<div class="auto-columns-column column-1 first-column">Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit.</div>
<div class="auto-columns-column column-2 last-column">Nam tincidunt gravida dui, at bibendum nisl lacinia nec.</div>
<div class="auto-columns-clear"></div>
</div>
In your theme use do_shortcode function:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[auto_columns]' . $content . '[/auto_columns]'); ?>
You will have to define width for .auto-columns-column class in your theme, of course.
