== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How do I create categories? =

Go to Posts -> Category Import in the administration paenl,
In the text area create categories separated by a new line, e.g. :

* Category A
* Category B
* Category C

= What about nested categories? =

Great question!
In the same text area, you can create child categories as well!
Each category who has a parent is written with a '->' separating parent from child, e.g. :

* Category A -> Category B -> Category C

And for massive assignment, e.g. :

* Category A -> Category B
* Category B -> Category C
* Category B -> Category D
* Category A -> Category E -> Category F
* Category F -> Category H

wasn't that easy?

= What slug is being set for each of my categories? =

Well, the default slug is the category name with hyphens instead of white spaces and all lowercase.

= What if I would like to change the slug? =

No problem!
When setting a category just add the dollar-sign '$' delimiter after the category name and your new slug!
e.g. :

* Category A$foo -> Category B$bar -> Category C$cool-isnt-it

= What about adding descriptions? =

Easy, just add another dollar-sign '$' delimiter after the category slug and wrap your description with double-quotes "". e.g. :
(Don't forget to escape double-quotes inside your description!)

* Category A$foo$"this is bar!"

= And if I don't like your silly dollar-sign delimiter? =

Just change it!
Just before the text area there's a small input bar that you can put whatever delimiter you want.
Notice: currently it is impossible to use the '->' sign as a delimiter.

== Changelog ==
