原文外掛簡介
Inline Context is a powerful Block Editor enhancement that lets you create inline expandable notes or clean tooltip-style popovers anywhere in your content. It is ideal for content-rich websites, including editorial platforms, research sites, online magazines, documentation hubs, and educational blogs that rely on clear explanation without breaking the reader’s focus.
Instead of sending readers to glossary pages or external links, Inline Context allows you to provide definitions, references, clarifications, and annotations in place — keeping readers engaged and your content structured.
Notes can be reusable, categorized, styled, centrally managed, and automatically updated everywhere they appear.

Why this is valuable for content-heavy websites
Websites with substantial text often need:
definitions and terminology
source references
background information
contextual inline explanations
mini footnotes without scrolling
inline callouts, tips, or warnings
Inline Context delivers all of this with a frictionless, accessible user experience. It helps readers stay focused, reduces navigation fatigue, and improves knowledge retention — especially in long articles or research-based content.
How it works
Highlight text in the Block Editor.
Click Inline Context.
Enter your note content (rich text supported).
Optionally assign a category with custom icon & color.
Publish — your note appears inline or as a tooltip, depending on settings.
You can also create reusable notes from a dedicated Custom Post Type. Updating a reusable note updates all instances site-wide.

Examples & inspiration
The idea for this plugin originated from a project with Renée Kool — a visual artist working in public art, film, and emerging media. She wanted to create a website where a single link could reveal additional content containing multiple related links. We looked at the Dutch journalism platform De Correspondent, which use subtle inline notes to provide context without interrupting the flow of reading. You can see examples of their inline notes in this article: Hoe Nederland kampioen deeltijdwerken werd
Source code
Inline Context uses @wordpress/scripts with webpack and npm to build assets.
