## Description

This plugin allows you to create internal `<a>` links within your content that **
will not break when things get renamed or moved**. While there are similar plugins
available, they do not offer important **SEO options**.

You can add _any_ HTML attribute to your link as long as it’s prefixed with “attr_”.
And because it supports attributes that may not currently exist, it is **future 
proof**.

**Examples:**

 1.  Link to a post/page by ID or slug
 2.   * **Shortcode:** `[link id="1234"/]`
      * **Shortcode:** `[link slug="post-slug"/]`
      * **Output:** `<a href="http://domain.com/post-slug/">Post Title</a>`
 3.  Link to a category by slug
 4.   * **Shortcode:** `[link cat="cat-slug"/]`
      * **Output:** `<a href="http://domain.com/cat-slug/">Category Name</a>`
 5.  Link to a tag by slug
 6.   * **Shortcode:** `[link tag="tag-slug"/]`
      * **Output:** `<a href="http://domain.com/tag-slug/">Tag Name</a>`
 7.  Custom text instead of retrieved title
 8.   * **Shortcode:** `[link id="1234"]custom text[/link]`
      * **Output:** `<a href="http://domain.com/post-slug/">custom text</a>`
 9.  Additional attributes for SEO/other
 10.  * **Shortcode:** `[link id="1234" attr_rel="something" attr_itemprop="specialty"/]`
      * **Output:** `<a href="http://domain.com/post-slug/" rel="something" itemprop
        ="specialty">Post Title</a>`
