## Description

Craftengineer Article Highlights Box helps readers quickly understand the value 
of an article by adding a simple insight box above single blog post content.

The box includes:

 * Key takeaway
 * Why this matters
 * What to do next

Admins can enable or disable automatic insertion and edit the default section headings
from Settings > Craftengineer Article Highlights Box.

The plugin is PHP-only, lightweight, theme independent, and uses the WordPress `
the_content` filter.

### Per Post Customization

You can override the generated text for any post using custom fields.

Add these custom field keys to a post:

    ```
    _crafarhi_key_takeaway
    _crafarhi_why_matters
    _crafarhi_next_step
    ```

Example values:

    ```
    _crafarhi_key_takeaway - This article explains how summaries improve reader engagement.
    _crafarhi_why_matters - Readers can decide quickly whether the article is useful.
    _crafarhi_next_step - Use the tips from this article on your next blog post.
    ```
