See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutrition_facts_label for more information on nutrition labels. Reference daily intake values come from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_Daily_Intake You can visit the official page for wp-nutrition-label at http://romkey.com/code/wp-nutrition-label == Installation == 1. Upload /wp-nutrition-label to the /wp-content/plugins directory 2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress 3. In any posts or pages where you wish to insert a nutrition label, use the shortcode [nutr-label]. The shortcode accepts the following attributes: servingsize, servings, calories, totalfat, satfat, transfat, cholesterol, sodium, carbohydrates, fiber, sugars, protein, id, class, width == Frequently Asked Questions == = What units do the attributes use? = * Grams: totalfat, satfat, transfat, carbohydrates, fiber, sugars, protein * Milligrams (mg): cholesterol and sodium * Unitless: servings and calories (units are implicit for calories) * You should include the unit in the serving size attribute (ie: "4 oz") = What about **Calories from Fat**? = The **Calories from Fat** number is computed from the totalfat attribute. = What about vitamins? = Working on it. = How do I style the nutrition label? = You can control the width with the "width" attribute. The width attribute uses **ems** as its unit. It is styled to scale but it's likely that the "Nutrition Label" text won't scale well as the default font is Helvetica, which isn't fixed-width. You can specify the DOM ID of the enclosing **div** by setting the **id** attribute in the shortcode. You can also specify a CSS class by setting the **class** attribute. Then you can provide your own styling to change the label as you see fit. = How about calculating the nutrition values based on a recipe? = This is **really** hard to do. To do it at all reliably requires human intervention to match ingredients names against their entries in a nutrition database. That's a level of difficulty I don't wan to try to tackle with this plugin. You may find the USDA's free online nutrition database useful for looking up nutrition information: http://www.nal.usda.gov/fnic/foodcomp/search/ = How do I contribute translations to other languages? = You're welcome to email the .po and .mo files to me at wordpress [at] romkey [dot] com = Where can I find the development version of the plugin? = Development work on this plugin is hosted on github at https://github.com/romkey/wp-nutrition-label == Screenshots == 1. Example using the shortcode 2. Example output == Upgrade Notice == = 0.3 = * Calculate calories from protein, carbohydrates and fat if no calories specified. = 0.2 = * Upgrade only needed to get info into plugin directory pages. == Changelog == = 0.3 = * Added code to help support internationalization, improved comments, calculate default total calories if not specified. = 0.2 = * Changed filename from README to readme.txt = 0.1 = * Initial release
