## Description

Users define their editorial rules in YAML (see Settings -> Secretary) according
to a number of built-in rule functions. For example, Secretary can show a warning
if you’ve forgotten to set a Featured Image for your post, by adding the `featured-
image` rule to your YAML config.

Secretary comes with a number of rules out of the box, but you can write your own
custom plugins for Secretary by calling `SecretaryRules::register`. See example 
at https://github.com/ChrisBAshton/secretary-rule-gallery-at-top, and API documentation
at https://github.com/ChrisBAshton/secretary.

Please note that I have open-sourced this plugin to give back to the community, 
and do not have much spare time to answer support queries, but I’ll help where I
can.

## Screenshots

 * [[
 * Secretary warns you against common problems; in this case, the Featured Image
   set for the post was too large in filesize.
 * [[
 * Secretary will only look for the rules you tell it to look for. There are a few
   built into the Secretary plugin, but you can install other plugins which define
   other rules.
 * [[
 * The `HTML Checker` rule searches for HTML to warn your content editors that this
   is a brittle way of styling posts.
 * [[
 * If all is well, you should see all green ticks!

## Installation

 1. Install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
 3. Use the Settings->Secretary screen to configure the plugin (you can see all available
    rule configs on the right hand side of the screen)

Example YAML config below:

    ```
    categories:
        not:
            - Uncategorized
        not-only:
            - Featured

    featured-image:
        max-size: 100
        format: jpg
        dimensions:
            width: 760
            height: 350

    excerpt:
        min-length: 30
        max-length: 300

    scheduled:
        publish-time: '15:00'

    links:
        internal:
            open-in-new-tab: false
        external:
            open-in-new-tab: true

    images:
        true

    html-checker:
        risky-html:
          - table
          - div
          - span
          - style
          - script
    ```

## FAQ

### How do I know what rules are available?

Look at the right hand side of the screen under Settings -> Secretary.

### I’m getting a `Config error: no such rule!`

If you see something like:

    ```
    ❌ foo
    Config error: no such rule!
    ```

…it means you have asked Secretary to apply a rule which does not exist. Check your
spelling.
