Offtopic Shortcode
The Offtopic Shortcode Plugin for WordPress can be downloaded from the WordPress Plugin Directory
The Offtopic Shortcode provides authors with the ability to create offtopic content. The original concept was to provide users of the plugin with some default theme options however, since I’m not a designer, it’s just the HTML markup at the moment with two possible CSS classes: offtopic and offtopic-prepend. The Offtopic Shortcode has multiple options, which can be found on the Writing Options page, letting users choose the default tag, default text prepended to the offtopic content and the option to run the offtopic content through autop.
Inspired by Smashing Magazine's offtopic content seen throughout their articles.
With autop disabled, using p as the default tag and prepending “Offtopic:” to the offtopic content the HTML markup looks like:
<p class="offtopic"> <span class="offtopic-prepend">Offtopic:</span> Did you know that this is how you use the offtopic shortcode? </p>
With some CSS applied to .offtopic and .offtopic-prepend I can make my offtopic content look like:
