A comparison has sections. A section name can be left empty. Each feature has a name, an optional description, and one icon choice for each column.<\/p>\n\n<p>Add a published comparison to a page with:<\/p>\n\n<pre><code>[insight_comparison id=\"your-comparison-slug\"]\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n<p>The id is the comparison slug, or the numeric id. The name insight_comparison stays fixed. You can change the id. It selects the comparison and is saved as its slug. Leave it empty to keep the current slug.<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>One column or two columns. Two columns stack on small screens, including landscape phones. On a wide screen each column of features has its own header. When the columns stack, one header stays at the top. In two columns, the line under a row runs across both features.<\/li>\n<li>The header row shows the feature column label on the left and a title above each icon column. Titles are set per comparison. The header is bold.<\/li>\n<li>A comparison uses 2 or 3 icon columns.<\/li>\n<li>Five icon slots. Each slot is unused, a built-in mark, or an uploaded image. Built-in marks are a green check, a red cross, a dash, a star, and an info mark. The feature dropdown lists the slots that are in use, plus none.<\/li>\n<li>Show or hide the comparison name. It is hidden by default.<\/li>\n<li>Reorder sections, and reorder features inside a section.<\/li>\n<li>A line under each feature, a dotted line between the name and the columns, or no line. One color for both line styles.<\/li>\n<li>For the comparison name, section name, feature name, description, and column header: color, size, a CSS class, and a font the site already loads. The plugin does not add font files. The column header style is used for the feature label and the column titles.<\/li>\n<li>Width follows the block the shortcode sits in, or uses the theme wide width.<\/li>\n<li>Duplicate a whole comparison, including its colors and content.<\/li>\n<li>In the editor, features stay collapsed until opened. Adding a feature leaves it closed. Anyone who can edit the comparison can change its settings and publish it. Uninstall does not delete comparisons.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h4>Need more?<\/h4>\n\n<p>See <a href=\"https:\/\/wpinsight.eu\/insight-comparison-list\/\">Insight Comparison List Pro<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Tab-style layout: sections as tabs, showing the features in that section only.<\/li>\n<li>Show more\/Show less (in columns and tabs mode)<\/li>\n<li>Section left alignment or centered.<\/li>\n<li>Images for feature, cover style, custom size.<\/li>\n<li>Client mode: edit settings with administrator privileges only.<\/li>\n<li>URLs (page or an external link) can be added to the feature name.<\/li>\n<li>Separate class field for each section name (notranslate, target colors or any other need).<\/li>\n<li>Export (backup) and import.<\/li>\n<li>Import from a text file (paste).<\/li>\n<li>Cell text instead of an icon (max 12 characters).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<!--section=installation-->\n<ol>\n<li>Upload the plugin folder to <code>\/wp-content\/plugins\/insight-comparison-list<\/code>.<\/li>\n<li>Activate Insight Comparison List.<\/li>\n<li>Open Insight Comparison List in the admin menu and add a comparison.<\/li>\n<li>Publish the comparison and paste its shortcode into a page.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n<!--section=faq-->\n<dl>\n<dt id=\"how%20light%20is%20the%20plugin%3F\"><h3>How light is the plugin?<\/h3><\/dt>\n<dd><p>The free plugin adds one stylesheet, and only on a page that contains the comparison shortcode.
