## Description

You worked hard developing your plugins & themes for the WP.org community. Don’t
you think you should be able
 to show off your hard work? I did, so I threw together
this plugin which will poll the WP.org plugin & theme APIs and dynamically display
all of your hard work. Unlike some similar plugins, there is no page scraping happening
here (eww!).

Usage could not be more easy. The simplest usage is the following shortcode: `[dev-
info author=<author slug>]`.
 Advanced usage is documented below.

#### [dev-info] Arguments

 * **author:** The author slug. This is the same value at the end of your WP.org
   profile (eg: _https://profiles.wordpress.org/**danrossiter**/_).
 * **slug:** The plugin or theme slug to be retrieved (useful if you just want to
   display info about a single plugin).
 * **api:** Optional. This indicates whether to query the plugins API, the themes
   API, or both (“plugins”, “themes”, “plugins,themes”).
    The default is both, but
   if you only want one then you should explicitly set this value to avoid making
   two HTTP calls from your server.
 * **orderby:** Field to order by (eg: name, slug, downloaded). Any field with an
   associated shortcode may be ordered against,
    though some such as `stars` might
   not make a whole lot of sense to order by.
 * **order:** Ascending or descending sort (ASC or DESC).

The `[dev-info]` shortcode supports a number of nested shortcodes allowing complete
customization of the output generated.
 An example of this is the following (this
is infact the default output format):

 [[dev-info-icon]](https://wordpress.org/plugins/developer-info/[dev-info-homepage]?output_format=md)
