CommentarySandbox is a modification of CommentPress Core theme. CommentPress allows paragraph-by-paragraph or line-by-line in the margins of a text.

== Description ==

CommentarySandbox is an open source theme and plugin for WordPress that allows creators to develop Dickinson College Commentary-style commentaries on WordPress by juxtaposing Notes and Vocabulary to Texts. You can create introductory materials, embed images, and more.

For further information and instructions about CommentarySandbox please see the [CommentPress website](http://iris.haverford.edu/sandbox/) or visit the plugin's [GitHub repository](https://github.com/GitClassical/Sandbox). Contact the developers by email at [cpdev@futureofthebook.org](mailto:cpdev@futureofthebook.org).

**Please note:** this plugin comes bundled with three official themes, one of which must be active for  CommentarySandbox to function. The "CommentPress Modern Theme" will be auto-activated when the plugin is first activated. The old "CommentPress Default Theme" and "CommentarySandbox Flat Theme" are included for those who wish to experiment with other themes but the plugin has not been tested on these themes.
