The Paragraph Level IDs plugin adds an ‘id’ attribute to each paragraph tag in a blog post, giving the author and readers additional functionality.
So for example, <p> becomes <p id=”para1234-5″>.
These additions allow anyone to link directly to that paragraph in the post. This is especially useful for long tracts of text, academic writing, and legal documents.
Road Map
In the future I hope to make the following improvements.
- Streamline the code so it is at its most efficient and smallest file size.
- Further customisation options for the id
- A degree of backwards compatibility and localisation for other languages
- An option so this feature is only applied to the post types specified.
I would welcome any advice, offers of support, bug-testing, forking the project and troubleshooting to help make these extra features possible.

The [Add To Post plugin (https://wordpress.org/plugins/add-to-post/) was instructive in helping me build a simple settings form.
