Plugin Name

One-click implementation of the New York Times open-source emphasis script which allows users to highlight and link to specific text within an article or post. In their own words:

Emphasis provides dynamic paragraph-specific anchor links and the ability to highlight text in a document, all of which is made available in the URL hash so it can be emailed, bookmarked, or shared. The plugin allows for permalinking and highlighting of text on a paragraph and sentence level. No need to set anything up. Just install, tap shift twice, and start highlighting.

See The New York Times for syntax more information on general usage. Questions, comments, suggestions? Please leave them on the WP Emphasis Plugin page. Enjoy using WP Emphasis? Feel free to make a small donation to support the software’s continued development.
