## FAQ

  What does this do?

Adds a button to the TinyMCE to wrap an email address with a shortcode using the
WordPress antispambot function. Obfuscates the email address so that only browsers
can see the normal address, while the source code displays jumbled characters. Also
includes a CSS class (a.email-link) if you want to style it differently that the
rest of your site.

  Is that it?

Yep. That’s it.
