Shortcodes
----------
_What are those? Shortcodes can be used in editors throughout Moodle to include or modify the content. The plugin [Shortcodes](https://github.com/branchup/moodle-filter_shortcodes) must be installed to enable them._
Check the [list of supported shortcodes](https://docs.levelup.plus/xp/docs/how-to/use-shortcodes?ref=readme).
How to use one block for all courses
------------------------------------
In order to gather experience points from all the courses a student is participating in, you have to set the admin setting _Where are experience points used?_ to 'For the whole site'. This setting is located under "Site administration > Plugins > Blocks > Level Up XP". Once set, any block newly or previously added will display the total experience points of your student.
