What are the shortcodes that I can use?

At the moment there are three shortcodes that can be used:

• The info-shortcode: [info]
• The hint-shortcode [hint]
• The yield-shortcode [yield unit=””]
• And the tab-shortcode (you can find out more about the tab shortcode on this page).

The Info-Shortcode works like this: [info]This is a info shortcode[/info]

The Hint-Shortcode works like this: [hint]This is a hint[/hint]

The yield-shortcode works like this: [yield unit=”grams”]5[/yield]. The content will be transformed to a floating number. In this example: 5.0.

If the content is 0.5, 0.25 or 0.75, the number will be transformed to some special characters: ½, ¼ and ¾
