• Thaura Work: a couple wordpress shortcodes
  Read this: https://rosemeadtu.org/z_archive/wordpress-shortcodes-calcode-and-calbill/ OK, I wasn’t that happy with these shortcodes, and now I know why. Citations need to be consistent, within reason. The code handles weird edge cases that could be considered bad or quirky citations.
