Provides an easy way to highlight important content on your posts and pages inside a box with a drop shadow.

== Description ==

Drop Shadow Boxes provides an easy way to highlight important content on your posts and pages. Includes a shortcode builder with a preview so you can test your box before adding it. It works on most browsers. Some older version of Internet Explorer may not display the shadows - but they will display the box with the content. Please see the following page for examples to see how it performs on your browser:

= Instructions =

The plugin itself doesn't require any configuration. There isn't a setting page, just a shortcode builder which you can access from the media toolbar while you're editing the post/page by clicking on the box icon next to the upload/insert media button.

= Shortcode Reference =

If you prefer not to use the shortcode builder, or if you'd like to modify an existing drop shadow box here's the shortcode reference guide.

Example usage:

[dropshadowbox]your content[/dropshadowbox]

[dropshadowbox align="left"]your content[/dropshadowbox]

[dropshadowbox effect="raised"]your content[/dropshadowbox]

[dropshadowbox effect="horizontal-curve-bottom" rounded_corners="false"]your content[/dropshadowbox]

Attributes:

align = [left/right/center/none] default: "none"

width = [width plus units e.g. "250px" or "50%"] default: "300px"

border_width = [width in pixels] default "2"

border_color = [colour code or name e.g. "#A8A8A8" or "blue"] default:"#DDD"

rounded_corners = [true/false] default: "true"

inside_shadow = [true/false] default: "true"

outside_shadow = [true/false] default: "true"

effect = [lifted/curled/perspective-left/perspective-right/raised/vertical-curve-left/vertical-curve-both/horizontal-curve-bottom/horizontal-curve-both] default: "lifted"
