## Description
Integration of lichess-pgn-viewer into WordPress.
### Using Shortcodes
To use a shortcode, do the following steps:
1. Enter on a new element `/shortcode`.
2. Enter inside the element then the shortcode including the content of the following
sections.
### Basic View
```
[lpgnv]1. e4 e5 2. ...[/lpgnv]
```
This is the lichess-pgn-viewer: allows to play through a game (including variations),
printing the comments, NAGs, …
### Using Block Level Element
**NOT IMLEMENTED YET**
You can use instead the following:
1. Enter as block element `/PGN Viewer for Lichess`.
2. You will then have a form with all options that are possible with the shortcode
as well.

## FAQ
### What parameters are available?
The parameters the viewer understands are:
* The content of the shortcode is the PGN itself. The viewer reads a lot from tags
included there.
* Additional attributes for the shortcode are:
- fen: , default undefined.
- boardstyle: , default ‘green’, available ‘blue’, ‘wood’.
- orientation: , no default, then taken from tag Orientation. Possible values‘
white’ or ‘black’.
- showclocks: , default true.
- showmoves: , default ‘auto’, others ‘right’, ‘bottom’, false.
bottom is the same as false, and does not show the moves.
- showcontrols: , default true.
- scrolltomove: , default true.
- keyboardToMove: , default true.
- theme: , default dark, others are ‘light’, ‘solarizeddark’ and ‘solarizedlight’.
- initialply: , default 0, shows the position after the `initialPly` move. Only
main lines allowed.
The following code shows how to use some of the parameters in a page:
```
[lpgnv orientation=black theme=light]1. e4 e5 2. Nf3 Nc6[/lpgnv]
```
### Where can I find more information about the implementation?
Have a look at the GitHub repository https://github.com/mliebelt/pgn-viewer-for-
lichess and look there at the file `package.json` to get hints how to develop the
plugin then.
