General Description & Notes

First Impressions

This looks incredibly promising, especially for adding feeds of help articles on nwbdocs for clients.

Use feed as follows:

https://nwbdocs.info/feed/?article_tags=eaton-help

Checked it out at GO RWD site; works fine. Only using the RSS feed feature for now (12/9/18).

On second thought…

The notes feature isn’t very special. Notes cannot be replied to or deleted individually.

I don’t understand some of the other features: list; widget.

I’m beginning to think the plugin could be overkill.

There are ways to do this with code:
