Button Shortcode
Make a link stand out by formatting it as a button.
Demo: Button Shortcode
Tip: You will find a list of shortcodes by clicking "More information about text formats" at the bottom right under the WYSIWYG editor.
Insert Button Shortcode
- Place your cursor in the Body content area where you want the button to appear.
- Click the Button Shortcode Generator: It's the first icon in the Shortcode icon set; a small square with an arrow in it.
Enter Button Settings
The first tab, Button Settings, has a field for Button Text and a field for the URL.
Button Text: Use title-style capitalization. Please note an all-uppercase style has lower readability because of the lack of word shape. The lack of shape contrast makes it less accessible for users with dyslexia.
URL: You should always use the full URL, which begins with http:// or https://. Best practice is to navigate to the page you want to link to, and copy the full URL as it appears in the web browser's address bar.
Tip: Make sure the URL in the button shortcode is not actually a hyperlink (underlined in blue) or the button will not work.

- Choose a Button Color (blue, gold, black, gray or white).

- Regular: normal text size.
- Large: larger than surrounding text.
