HTML Shortcodes
https://wordpress.org/plugins/html-shortcodes/
The Lowdown:
Easily insert HTML tags as shortcodes right into the visual editor.
Current version supports A, BR, BUTTON, DIV, HR, IMG, P, amnd SPAN.
To use the plugin insert a shortcode into your post or page like this:
[div class=”classname” id=”idname” style=”stylename” foo=”bar”]Content1[div_end]
This will output the following HTML:
<div class=”classname” id=”idname” style=”stylename” foo=”bar”>Content1</div>
You can enter any parameter and it echoes it to the HTML tag. [div foo=”bar”] will output.. <div foo=”bar”>.
Very flexible.
