Great Plugin although it lacks HTML Tag

This is a fantastic and easy-to-use plugin. Unfortunately, we can only use it for paragraph text as there is no functionality for HTML tagging. Looking forward to this feature. Thanks 🙂

Does exactly what it says on the tin.

Does exactly what it says on the tin. It was exactly what I was looking for and allows for plenty of customizability. Thanks!

It seems to be outdated

Either the installation manual is incomplete or/and the plugin is outdated. No matter which – the explanation is not the same as what happens in real life.
