## Descripción

Readlyte estimates how long it will take a visitor to read a post, based on its 
word count and a configurable words-per-minute rate, and displays it as a small 
badge.

**Features**

 * Automatic display before or after post content — no template edits required.
 * `[rdlt_reading_time]` shortcode for manual placement, including `[rdlt_reading_time
   id="123"]` for another post.
 * A “Reading Time (Readlyte)” Gutenberg block, server-rendered so it always matches
   your current settings.
 * An Elementor widget (when Elementor is active), with per-instance overrides for
   words-per-minute/text/icon and full Style tab controls (color, typography, icon
   gap).
 * Configurable words-per-minute, display text (`{time}` / `{unit}` placeholders),
   and which post types it applies to.
 * Word count strips HTML tags, shortcodes, and block-editor comments so the estimate
   reflects visible text only.
 * Theme-friendly: styled entirely with CSS classes and custom properties (`--rdlt-
   color`, `--rdlt-icon-color`, `--rdlt-font-size`, `--rdlt-gap`), so a theme can
   restyle the badge from its own stylesheet.
 * Developer filters: `rdlt_word_count`, `rdlt_calculated_read_time`, `rdlt_read_time_text`,`
   rdlt_read_time_icon`.

## Instalación

 1. Upload the `readlyte-reading-time` folder to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
 3. Go to Settings  Readlyte to configure words-per-minute, display text, position,
    and enabled post types.

## FAQ

### Can I place the read time somewhere specific in my template?

Yes. Set “Display mode” to “Shortcode / block only” in Settings  Readlyte, then 
use the `[rdlt_reading_time]` shortcode or the “Reading Time (Readlyte)” block wherever
you like, or call `RDLT_Display::instance()->render_badge( $post_id )` directly 
in a theme template.

### Does it work with Gutenberg and the Classic Editor?

Yes. The shortcode works with both. The block requires the block editor (Gutenberg/
WordPress 5.8+).

### How is word count calculated?

HTML tags, shortcodes, and block-editor comments are stripped before counting whitespace-
separated words in the visible text.

### Can I change the icon shown next to the read time?

Yes, with the `rdlt_read_time_icon` filter. Return your own HTML (inline SVG, a `
<i>` icon-font tag, or an `<img>`), or return an empty string to remove the icon
entirely.

    ```
    // Swap in a Font Awesome icon.
    add_filter( 'rdlt_read_time_icon', function( $icon, $post_id ) {
        return '<i class="fa-regular fa-clock" aria-hidden="true"></i>';
    }, 10, 2 );

    // Remove the icon.
    add_filter( 'rdlt_read_time_icon', '__return_empty_string' );
    ```

The icon is sanitized with `wp_kses` (svg/path/circle/i/span/img only), so only 
presentational markup gets through.
