## Beskriuwing

This plugin allows you to easily add “Show more…” links to your site. Just enclose
the content to be hidden between `[showhide]` and `[/showhide]`. There is no modification
to the backend or fancy editor. Hence the code for this plugin is minimal and the
plugin should be easy to review for security issues as well not impact performance.

## FAQ

### Where do I need to click?

Use the block editor to add two blocks: `[showhide]` and `[/showhide]`. Everything
in between will be hidden and a link “Show more…” is displayed. When clicked, the
hidden content is revealed.

### Can I change the default “Show more…” text?

Yes, the `[showhide]` shortcode accepts the argument `show_caption`:
 `[showhide
show_caption="Do you want to know more?"]Your Content[/showhide]\`\`\` Similarly,
use thehide_caption` attribute to change the “Show less…” default caption.

No clutter, it simply works as it is intended. It would be better though if you 
could write this in vanilla JavaScript rather than relying to jQuery.
