Lang Attribute for the Block Editor

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   Thanks for this little Plugin! Seems it just adds a <span>-tag to the block. This can also be done with the html-mode of the block-editor. But so it might be a little bit easier to maintain.

   Thank you, thank you, thank you!, for creating and sharing this plugin. As small as this may seem to the less knowledgable, this plugin provides a massive win for accessibility! Update Tuesday, Nov. 21: this plugin still works fine with WordPress 6.4.x! An yes, of course, you can achieve the in the HTML editor manually, but not all users are comfortable doing that. This is a great solution! This topic was modified 2 years, 8 months ago by Anne-Mieke Bovelett. Reason: The plugin is marked as "not tested with your WordPress version". Well, I tested it, and it works fine
