Shortcodes
Demonstration of all shortcodes and some possible configurations. See documentation for more details.

[fictioneer_story_section story_id="182" tabs="true" pages="true" blog="true"]This is an extra page attached to the story. You can add up to four pages with any content here, provided you also fill out the Short Name property. As you can see, there is not much space for the tabs, so take that into account. Although they can wrap without breaking the layout, it does not quite look as good.

Story Comments Shortcode
Renders the button to load the collective comments made on chapters in the story. Not to be confused with the comments you can make on the page, which are completely separate. This only works on pages with the “Story Page” template set and is intended to create a single-story-centric front page.

- header: Whether to render the heading with count. Default true.
[fictioneer_story_comments story_id="13" header="false"]Story Data Shortcode

Tooltip Shortcode & Footnotes
Includes a tooltip modal for the wrapped content, indicated by a dotted underline. Just omit the shortcode block and write it directly into the text. This shortcode also works if your role lacks the shortcode capability. If you enable the footnotes feature under Fictioneer > General > Features, the tooltips will also be appended to the content as footnotes.
Formatting: You can use HTML in the shortcode content attribute, as far as the post sanitizer and user role allows. However, be cautious of nested quotation marks and square brackets, as they can break the shortcode — use HTML entities instead.
Footnotes: There is no difference in use to append the tooltips as footnotes, complete with anchor link. Just enable the rendering globally. You can disable individual footnotes with the footnote="false" parameter (but not the other way around).

Empty Cups and Empty Chairs
It is rather simple to deduce what’s missing based on what’s been left behind. A second toothbrush in the bathroom of an old woman’s apartment. A baby’s bib and other such things hidden away in the closet of a quiet couple with sad eyes. A jewelry box under the bed of the local lady’s man, and a dusty engagement ring beneath it. A bracelet… -

Any shortcode with the splide parameter can be turned into a slider. Splide is a flexible and lightweight slider that comes with many options for customization, although applying them may be challenging if you are not familiar with JSONs. You can look up the details yourself.
The splide parameter only accepts JSON strings, such as splide="{'type':'loop','perPage':3}". Note that you need to use single quotes due to the shortcode syntax. If there is even a minor error, the JSON will be rejected with a note, and the shortcode will default to its standard layout. Not all parameter combinations have been tested with Splide, so custom CSS may be required in some cases.
If you do not want to initialize a slider on page load, you can add the no-auto-splide CSS class via the class parameter in the shortcode or custom HTML (where the splide class is). Normally, Splide’s assets are only enqueued when a shortcode with the necessary parameter is found in the post content, but you can enable Splide globally under Fictioneer > General > Compatibility.
[fictioneer_showcase for="chapters" orderby="rand" count="18" aspect_ratio="2/3" splide="{'type': 'loop', 'gap': '1.5rem', 'autoplay': true, 'perPage': 6, 'breakpoints': {'767': {'perPage': 4}, '479': {'perPage': 3}}}"]-

If you enable Splide globally (or have a slider shortcode on the same page), you can use the HTML block to create your own Slider. Just copy the base structure and add any slides you like, although you will need to style them yourself using custom CSS. Initialize the slider with the data attribute JSON, but this time with double quotes as shown in the example. Unlike with shortcodes, navigation arrows are enabled by default but can be turned off with "arrows:" false.
