## Description

Plugin adds shortcodes to place a page content in tabs. Uses a lightweight JS script,
no additional CSS files so you need to add own CSS style to your theme’s stylesheet
to ensure proper display of the tabs.

## Installation

In most cases you can install automatically from plugins page in admin panel.

However, if you want to install it manually, follow these steps:

 1. Download the plugin and unzip the archive.
 2. Upload the entire `simple-tabs-shortcodes` folder to the `/wp-content/plugins/`
    directory.
 3. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.

## FAQ

### Example usage

There are two shortcodes available, below is a simple example of usage:

    ```
    [tabs]
    [tab title="First tab"]The content of the first tab.[/tab]
    [tab title="Second tab"]The content of the second  tab.[/tab]
    [tab title="Third tab"]The content of the third tab.[/tab]
    [/tabs]
    ```

This will output the following HTML:

    ```
    <div class="tabs-container">
        <div class="tabs-nav">
            <ul>
                <li><a href="#first-tab" class="active">First tab</a></li>
                <li><a href="#second-tab">Second tab</a></li>
                <li><a href="#third-tab">Third tab</a></li>
            </ul>
        </div>
        <div class="tabs-content">
            <section id="first-tab" class="tab active">The content of the first tab.</section>
            <section id="second-tab" class="tab">The content of the second tab.</section>
            <section id="third-tab" class="tab">The content of the third tab.</section>
        </div>
    </div>
    ```

Optionally, you can set a custom ID by adding `id="my-id"` in tab shortcode.

### Example CSS

Here is an example CSS, make the necessary changes if you want to customize the 
look and feel of tabs.

    ```
    .tabs-nav {
        margin: 0;
        border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc;
    }
    .tabs-nav ul {
        list-style: none;
    }
    .tabs-nav li {display: inline-block;}
    .tabs-nav a {
        display: block;
        padding: 5px 10px;
        border: 1px solid transparent;
        text-decoration: none;
    }
    .tabs-nav a.active {
        border-color: #ccc;
        border-bottom-color: #fff;
    }
    section.tab {
        display: none;
        margin-bottom: 15px;
        padding: 15px 0;
    }
    section.tab.active {display: block;}
    ```

### Selecting a tab by the URL

You can select default tab by using a hash in the URL – simply add `#tab-name` at
the end of the page URL to select the specific tab. This example URL will select
tab with the title / id “something”: `http://domain.tld/your-page/#something`

### Switching to the tab by the link

Tabs can be switched by a normal link, just add a class tab-url to the link. Example:

    ```
    <a class="tab-url" href="#something">Something</a>
    ```

Beautifully minimalistic. Allows several independent tab groups on the same page.
Exactly what I was after!
