## Kuvaus

BlockExpander enables a fast, code-inspired workflow for assembling page structures
in the WordPress block editor using Emmet-style shorthand syntax.

**How It Works:**

 1. Press `Ctrl+Shift+E` (or `Cmd+Shift+E` on Mac) to open the BlockExpander modal
 2. Enter an Emmet expression (e.g., `columns>column*3>paragraph`)
 3. Press Enter to expand the expression into blocks
 4. Blocks are inserted at your cursor location

**Syntax Examples:**

 * `paragraph` – Creates a paragraph block
 * `columns>column*3` – Creates a columns block with 3 columns
 * `group.container` – Creates a group block with class ”container”
 * `group#hero` – Creates a group block with anchor ”hero”
 * `paragraph{Hello World}` – Creates a paragraph with custom text

**Features:**

 * Familiar Emmet syntax for rapid block creation
 * Keyboard-triggered modal for seamless workflow
 * Supports nesting, multiplication, classes, IDs, and text content
 * Automatic Lorem Ipsum placeholder text for content blocks
 * Fully compatible with all core Gutenberg blocks

## Asennus

 1. Upload the plugin files to `/wp-content/plugins/blockexpander`, or install through

 2. Activate the plugin through the ’Plugins’ screen in WordPress
 3. In the block editor, press `Ctrl+Shift+E` (or `Cmd+Shift+E`) to open the expander

## UKK

### What is Emmet?

Emmet is a toolkit for web developers that uses CSS-selector-like abbreviations 
to rapidly generate HTML structures. BlockExpander adapts this approach for Gutenberg
blocks.

### What keyboard shortcut opens the modal?

Ctrl+Shift+E on Windows/Linux or `Cmd+Shift+E` on Mac.

### Can I use any block name?

Yes! Any tag name becomes `core/<tagname>`. For example, `paragraph` becomes `core/
paragraph`, `columns` becomes `core/columns`, etc.
