Shortcode Usage
The default shortcode [humanstxt] will display the contents of the virtual humans.txt file. URLs, email addresses and Twitter account names are converted into clickable links. Plain email addresses are encoded for spam protection. The output will be wrapped with a <p> tag and can be styled via the humanstxt CSS class.
You can turn off the “clickable links” functionality: [humanstxt clickable="0"]
You can also toggle the clickable links individually: [humanstxt urls="1" emails="0" twitter="1"]
To display the humans.txt as preformatted text, use the pre attribute: <pre>[humanstxt pre="1"]</pre>
To display the untouched humans.txt, use the plain attribute: [humanstxt plain="1"]
You can omit the wrapping with the <p> tag: [humanstxt wrap="0"]
You can set a CSS id for the wrapping <p> tag: [humanstxt id="my-humans-txt"]
You can turn off the encoding of email addresses and common text entities: [humanstxt filter="0"]
Useful Functions
