 * First of all: THANK YOU for the plugin
 * Is it possible to assign a shortcode to some snippets so we can integrate them
   into the webpagetext ?
    For example I would like to display “Last update of the
   page: …..” or show the same text on several pages but change the content a bit
   by reading custom variables.
 * Thank you in advance

 * It definitely is possible.
 * You’ll need to write some code to wrap around the HTML/PHP content of the shortcode:
 *     ```
       add_shortcode( 'shortcode_name', function ( $atts, $content = '') { ?>
   
           // shortcode content goes here
   
       <?php } );
       ```
   
 * You can access any content between the shortcode tags or attributes passed to
   the shortcode using the respective `$content` and `$atts` variables.
 * My apologies for taking so long to answer this. Please let me know if there’s
   any other way I can help out!
