This plugin is based on the excellent open-source jTab JavaScript library by Paul Gallagher (http://jtab.tardate.com). “jTab is a javascript-based library that renders notation using CSS and scalable vector graphics (SVG). It works in most modern browsers that support javascript, CSS and scalable vector graphics (SVG).” I’d rather show than tell! To see plenty of examples, visit the shortcode plugin page at http://jtab-guitar-tab-shortcode.marichiba.com. #### USAGE **Display guitar chords** ``` [jtab phrase="C / Am / F / G G7"] ``` **Display guitar tab with chords** ``` [jtab phrase="Bm $3 4 4h5p3h4 5 $2 3 5 7 7h8p7 5/7 | A $4 7 9 $3 7 6 $5 9 $4 7h9 7 $5 9\7 5/7 |"] ``` **Display a form allowing users to render jTab notation in real-time** ``` [jtab showform='true' buttontext='jTab me, baby!' phrase='C Am F G'] ``` **Specify different class and/or id for the jtab div** ``` [jtab phrase="C / Am / F / G G7" class="myclass" id="myid"] ``` Do you need different functionality from this shortcode, or a different plugin altogether?
