A Modern Design Library toolkit for blocks: separators, headings, marquees, call-to-action banners, and author boxes.

== Description ==

Modern Design Library is a toolkit of opinionated Gutenberg blocks for WordPress. All optional blocks are registered using PHP-only block registration (`autoRegister`) — no JavaScript build step or Node.js tooling required.

The plugin ships with:

* **Colored Line** — a fully customisable horizontal separator block with striped, shade, and dotted style variants (classic JS-registered block).
* **Advanced Separator** *(experimental)* — a PHP-only separator with configurable width, height, padding, alignment, and three decorative variants.
* **Advanced Heading** *(experimental)* — 13 decorative heading styles, heading level selector (H1–H6), optional tagline, and full typography/spacing/border block support controls. Accent decorations automatically follow the text colour.
* **Marquee** *(experimental)* — a single infinitely scrolling text row. Stack multiple blocks for multi-row layouts. Speed (Slow/Medium/Fast) and direction (Left/Right) are configurable. Animation script is loaded lazily — only on pages containing the block.
* **Call to Action** *(experimental)* — a CTA banner with heading, subheading, button label/URL, three visual variants (Primary/Secondary/Dark), and native colour overrides.
* **Author Box** *(experimental)* — displays a user card with avatar, bio, email, and LinkedIn link. User is selected from a dropdown. LinkedIn URL is stored as user meta (set on the user's profile page).

Optional blocks are enabled from **Settings → Modern Design Library → Modules**.

The optional blocks require the **Gutenberg plugin** or **WordPress 7.0+** for the `autoRegister` block support.
