## Description

This plugin adds a block style called “Photocopy” to the Image, Gallery, and Media&
Text blocks. When applied, it roughly emulates the look of a high-contrast photocopy.

## Installation

 1. Upload the plugin files to the `/wp-content/plugins/plugin-name` directory, or 
    install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly.
 2. Activate the plugin through the “Plugins” screen in WordPress
 3. Select an Image, Gallery, or Media & Text block.
 4. Using either the block switcher or the block settings, choose the \”Photocopy\”
    block style.

## FAQ

### How does this work?

The block style applies a handful of CSS filters to your images or text. It looks
kind of like a photocopy.

### Why are the text styles labeled experimental?

These filters are a little unpredictable — different browsers render them in different
ways. But hey, photocopiers are a little unpredictable too! It’s more lifelike this
way.

### Are there any known issues?

 * The effect doesn’t play great with Image block captions at the moment. The overlay
   pattern sometimes shows up behind the caption.
 * The warped styles cut off the resize drag handles.

### Can I contribute to this plugin?

 * Of course! It’s open source. Visit the [GitHub repository](https://github.com/kjellr/photocopier)
   to browse the code or submit ideas.

Kjell, I love this plugin so much. You’ll certainly be seeing it in use on my blog.
I can’t use it on text yet (at least on Firefox), but at the very least it’ll be
on images. Thanks! Keep up the experiments.
