Demonstration of all shortcodes and some possible configurations. See documentation for more details.
Story Actions Shortcode
Renders the action row of the specified story. All buttons and links will work as if on the story post, aside from the sharing modal which always refers to the current page. This only works on pages with the “Story Page” template set and is intended to create a single-story-centric front page.
story_id (*): The ID of the story.
class: Additional CSS classes, separated by whitespace.
follow: Whether to render the Follow button (if enabled). Default true.
reminder: Whether to render the Reminder button (if enabled). Default true.
subscribe: Whether to render the Subscribe button (if enabled). Default true.
download: Whether to render the ePUB/eBook download button (if enabled). Default true.
rss: Whether to render the RSS link (if enabled). Default true.
share: Whether to render the Share modal button (if enabled). Default true.
cache: Whether the shortcode should be cached. Default true.
Renders the chapters, groups, and tabs of the specified story. It will look just as if on the story post. This only works on pages with the “Story Page” template set and is intended to create a single-story-centric front page.
story_id (*): The ID of the story.
class: Additional CSS classes, separated by whitespace.
tabs: Whether to render the tabs (if any). Default false.
blog: Whether to render the blog tab. Default false.
pages: Whether to render the custom page tabs. Default false.
scheduled: Whether to render the scheduled chapter note. Default false.
cache: Whether the shortcode should be cached. Default 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.
story_id (*): The ID of the story.
class: Additional CSS classes, separated by whitespace.
header: Whether to render the heading with count. Default true.

The example story Katalepsis has 17 chapters featured on this site, containing a total of 95,765 words.
You can format the word count with "raw" ([fictioneer_story_data story_id="13" data="word_count" format="raw"]) or "short" ([fictioneer_story_data story_id="13" data="word_count" format="short"]).

In the perfectly ideal world that Twilight Sparkle thought she lived in, she reached her destination without any delays or any inconveniences and was back in the mansion in less than an hour.

There was a mahogany dining table in the Lady’s mansion, carved from ancient trees and kept intact with even older magic. It was long, quite long, the kind to seat a gathering of twelve or more. The dining room that housed it was as grand as its table, every wall decorated with oil portraits of people—some prominent, some unknown, and all beautiful in some…
Elpida had made sure that every member of the cadre was trained in close-quarters combat — unarmed or otherwise. Even the few who had no natural aptitude, like Bug, or Shade. At thirteen years old she’d spent six painstaking months personally coaching Shade every day, both of them black and blue all over, sleeping together in each others’ scent, until Shade could last five…

Two weeks and a day after the night which altered my life forever, I did a new and brave thing: I answered my front door at eleven in the morning. Might not seem like much, unless you’re used to seeing monsters around every corner. A month ago, I wouldn’t even have acknowledged the knock. That would risk opening the door to a leering skeletal…

2.12 – providence or atoms: First, we retraced our steps. More accurately, Raine retraced our steps and led me in her wake. She left no question as to who was going first, back through the double-doors to the corridor of Not-Willow-House. A familiar transformation came over her – watchful, alert, tense. My hand felt clammy in hers, my heart in my throat. In the fake corridors she eased each set of doors open with the tip of her boot, waited for any nasty surprises to jump out at us before proceeding. The Medieval Metaphysics room was gone. As was the back staircase and all the windows; each set of internal double-doors led to another identical stretch of whitewashed corridor, with four classroom doors on each wall and a noticeboard full of philosophy department flyers.…

A Reflection on God: People will always think they know what and who you are. No matter what one does, what one says, what one is, they will slam a gavel in their mind and declare their verdict, weighing you down with the handcuffs they’ve now so rudely locked on your wrists. This man is a no-good deadbeat. This woman is a snob. This boy can do no wrong. This girl’s a whore. It can’t be helped, I suppose. There are scholars out there who I’m sure can explain this a thousand times better than I could dream of, but we label things to understand them, to know how they fit in the universe. Even this story fell victim to that, no doubt. From the very moment I decided to speak about my life, assumptions were made. This is the story about a prostitute.…

05 – Cheshire Cat: Days later, Nadia stepped out of the Pass out From Exhaustion Suite cursing the late-afternoon sunlight. The suite had really been earning its name lately. She shuffled along, wiping her eyes, legs stiff and screaming with every motion. “Look who’s up!” Tess said, far too cheerily. She was at one of her workbenches, wearing huge safety goggles as she did…something. Nadia’s eyes were too weak just yet. She fumbled around at one of her desks, having already given up on coffee—it was never strong enough. Instead she popped open a can of something vile and green, one of those saccharine energy drinks Tess loved so much. She chanced a sip, grimaced, then gulped more down. Bitter and nasty, hiding badly behind tawdry sweetness. But it was…

Of Bridges and Buses: We are all stories in the end. Your heart will stop, your breath will cease, your flesh will rot, but your story? It will live on and on, in the memories of those around you, in the dozens upon dozens of little echoes you left in your old apartment, in the corner of the local bar, in the scars you left while living on Earth. Two people sit at a bus stop. What they look like isn’t important. Neither are their names. The one on the left holds a paper in their left hand, the thin sheet gently folding in their grip. The one on the right is drumming their right-hand fingers on the bench’s armrest, the rhythmic tapping a soothing lullaby. Their free hands rest at their sides on the bench, their fingers merely inches away…

by Hungry in Katalepsis— “Can’t miss it” turned out to be a typically Raine-like oversight. The Medieval Metaphysics Department was hidden away in the furthest corner of Sharrowford University’s “new” building, Willow House, a snaking four-story structure of Brutalist…
by Hungry in Katalepsis— Slipping was never the same twice. Once, when I was twelve years old, it gripped me as I stepped into the shower. A jerk and a twist and another world bloomed around me; I crept naked for hours through a rotting jungle beneath a throbbing black sun. My…
It was ugly, really. Horrid. She stared at herself in a small mirror, the gem around her neck barely catching her eye. “Stunning,” the salesman said. “That color is perfect for you.” She ignored him. He didn’t know what he was…
Days later, Nadia stepped out of the Pass out From Exhaustion Suite cursing the late-afternoon sunlight. The suite had really been earning its name lately. She shuffled along, wiping her eyes, legs stiff and screaming with every motion. “Look who’s…
There wasn’t much happening in the fashion district at four in the morning. Nadia had parked her scooter some blocks away and calmly walked down small alleys and side streets without seeing a soul. If she had run into someone, all they would have seen…
Elpida took command. “Into the gravekeeper’s room, now!” Click-click-click went metal on metal, racing down the lift shaft. “Amina, hold onto that shield and get behind the wall. Vicky, grab three more ballistic shields, toss them back…

splide: Configuration JSON to turn the grid into a slider. See Slider.
cache: Whether the shortcode should be cached. Default true.
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.
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.
The purpose of this HTML is to help determine what default settings are with CSS and to make sure that all possible HTML Elements are included in this HTML so as to not miss any possible Elements when designing a site.
Renders a multi-column grid of small bookmark cards, ordered by date of creation. The bookmarks are stored in the browser and appended to the document via JavaScript. You can combine this with the show-if-bookmarks hidden additional CSS classes, displaying a headline or other element only if bookmarks are present.
count: Limit the number of items. Default -1 (all).
show_empty: Set true if you want a “No bookmarks” note if empty. Default false.
seamless: Whether to remove the gap between the image and frame. Default false (Customizer).
thumbnail: Whether to show the thumbnail/cover image. Default true (Customizer).
Renders a contact form with various (optional) fields. Submissions are validated, sanitized, have basic spam protection, and are checked against the WordPress disallow list under Settings > Discussions.

submit: Label of the submit button. Defaults to “Submit”.

required: Set true if all fields must be filled out. Default false.
