Generic Plugins

Cascade is shipped with a few plugins, which can be used independently of the underlying CSS framework. To avoid duplication, they are bundled into the section Generic and are available by default in the placeholders context menu.

All these plugins qualify as plugins with extra fields, which means that they can be configured by the site administrator to accept additional CSS styles and classes.

SimpleWrapperPlugin

Use this plugin to add a wrapping element around a group of other plugins. Currently these HTML elements can be used as wrapper: <div>, <span>, <section>, <article>. There is one special wrapper named naked. It embeds its children only logically, without actually embedding them into any HTML element.

HorizontalRulePlugin

This plugins adds a horizontal rule <hr> to the DOM.

HeadingPlugin

This plugins adds a text heading <h1>...``<h6>`` to the DOM. Although simple headings can be achieved with the TextPlugin, there they can’t be styled using special CSS classes or styles. Here the HeadingPlugin can be used, since any allowed CSS class or style can be added.
