## Description

Almost all web browsers have abandoned Gopher; access to Gopherspace now requires
a bridge – a Gopherduct.

The plugin allows easy access to your Gopherhole from within WordPress.

**This is a Beta version.** “It Works For Me”, but there are almost certainly bugs.

#### Features

**Gopherspace**

The Gopherspace URL is appended to the HTTP URL (e.g. `/gopherspace/0/my/foo/bar.
md`) so you can link directly from HTTP-space.

Gophermaps are rendered as a table with some basic styling; in future this will 
change to allow better integration with themes.

Currently implements only the basics – File, Directory (local only), HTML.

Next up will be Images, then Search.

**Markdown**

Files with an `.md` extension will be rendered as Markdown – no configuration necessary!

**robots.txt**

Gopherduct doesn’t yet do anything clever with the Gopherspace `robots.txt` file;
for now, please remember to adjust your WordPress `robots.txt` file to preserve 
any exclusions etc.

## Installation

Gopherduct requires the cURL PHP extension.

 * Install the plugin (plugin directory, zip upload, shout at your webmaster, whatever)
 * Create a page with the slug `gopherspace` (technically it can be anything with
   the right slug, but for most themes the page template is most suitable)
 * Add the shortcode `[gopherspace hole="my.gopher.hole"]` (note the lack of `gopher://`)

**Specify your own Gopherhole** – it is extremely impolite to send unannounced visitors
to someone else’s Gopherhole!
