## Beskrivelse

Broadside Blocks is the companion plugin to the **Broadside** theme. It provides
the
 seventeen blocks that make a WordPress site read like a newspaper.

**Why a plugin and not part of the theme?** Because WordPress is right about this.

The Theme Directory forbids a theme from registering blocks, and the test behind
that rule is a good one:

> Themes handle presentation. Plugins handle content.
>  **Anything you lose when 
> you switch themes belongs in a plugin.**

A Short Answer, an FAQ, a Sources list — that is _content_. It lives in your post.
If
 it shipped inside a theme, changing theme would silently blank it and you would
have no way to get it back. So it lives here, where it is safe.

#### The editorial blocks

 * **Short Answer** — a direct, quotable answer at the top, for the reader in a 
   hurry
    and the search engine that wants to cite you.
 * **Key Takeaways** — the three or four things a reader should leave with.
 * **Table of Contents** — builds itself from your headings. Rename a heading and
   the
    contents follow; there is nothing to keep in sync by hand.
 * **FAQ** — questions and answers that also emit valid FAQPage structured data.
 * **Sources & References** — the receipts.
 * **Disclosure Table** — a comparison table whose partner links are always marked
   
   rel=»sponsored nofollow» and which always prints a disclosure line.

#### The masthead furniture

Nameplate, folio rule, utility bar, colophon, byline, author bio, editorial standards,

the newsletter panel, the section grid, related stories and the lead-story well.

#### It needs the Broadside theme

These blocks render the theme’s Customizer settings and call its template tags. 
Under
 any other theme they render nothing at all — deliberately, and without a 
fatal error. Install [Broadside](https://github.com/shadow-software/broadside-theme-for-wordpress);
WordPress 6.5+ will offer this plugin alongside it.

## Blokker

Denne utvidelsen gir 7 blokker.

 *   Disclosure Table A comparison table whose partner links are always marked rel
   ="sponsored nofollow" and which always prints a disclosure line — because a journal
   of record discloses.
 *   Table of Contents Builds itself from the headings in this post. Rename a heading
   and the contents follow — there is nothing to keep in sync by hand.
 *   Key Takeaways The three or four things a reader should leave with, set in a
   bordered box beside the table of contents.
 *   Short Answer A direct, quotable answer at the top of the article — the two 
   sentences a reader (or a search engine) should get without reading two thousand
   words first.
 *   Sources & References The receipts — a numbered list of what the reporting rests
   on. Links are allowed.
 *   Section Grid The "Inside This Week's Edition" grid: one column per section,
   each listing its latest headlines. Built from your categories, so a new section
   appears the moment you use it.
 *   FAQ Questions and answers, which also emit FAQPage structured data so search
   and answer engines can quote them directly.

## Installasjon

 1. Install and activate the **Broadside** theme.
 2. WordPress will offer to install this plugin alongside it. Accept.
 3. The blocks appear in the editor under the **Broadside — editorial** category.

## Ofte stilte spørsmål

### I activated the plugin and nothing appears.

The blocks need the Broadside theme. Under any other theme they render nothing, 
on
 purpose, rather than fataling. An admin notice will tell you so.

### The table of contents is empty.

It builds itself from the `h2` and `h3` headings in the post. A post with no headings

has no contents to list. Add a heading and it appears.

## Endringslogg

#### 1.3.3

 * Prefix: all plugin functions, hooks, and usermeta use the `broadside_blocks_`
   prefix (WordPress.org uniqueness requirement). Theme helpers such as `shadow_digest_get()`
   are unchanged — they live in the Broadside theme.
 * Filter `shadow_digest_emit_faq_schema` renamed to `broadside_blocks_emit_faq_schema`.
 * Usermeta `shadow_digest_role` migrated to `broadside_blocks_role` (legacy key
   still read until saved).

#### 1.3.2

 * FAQPage JSON-LD uses default wp_json_encode() flags so solidus is escaped (no
   script breakout).
 * Plugin URI points at this plugin’s public repository.
 * Removed load_plugin_textdomain(); WordPress.org loads translations automatically.

#### 1.3.1

 * Moved into its own repository, with its own CI and its own signed release zips.
 * Version brought back into step with the Broadside theme, which it ships with.

#### 1.2.0

 * Initial release, split out of the Broadside theme: WordPress.org does not permit
   a
    theme to register blocks, and it is right not to.
 * Fixed: the blocks were never in their own editor category. The theme registered
   one
    slug while all 17 block.json files asked for another, so every block quietly
   landed in the editor’s default bucket.
