## Description

This plugin will add a button to the TinyMCE editor in WordPress.

When you select a name and click one of the buttons, a search will be made to find
a player or staff with that name.

If no name is selected the content is searched for names. Please note that this 
is an experimental feature and not all names will be found.
 Please report names
that’s not found as an issue here: https://github.com/menmo/eliteprospects-link-
generator/issues

To show tooltips for your links you can use this plugin:

and staff.

## Installation

 1. Upload plugin to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress

    button.
