## ❓ FAQ

> ⚠️ This plugin works **only** with the Classic Editor. Gutenberg is not supported.

### Does this plugin work with Gutenberg (Block Editor)?

No. This plugin is built specifically for the **Classic Editor**.
If you are using Gutenberg, these Quicktags will not appear.

### What does the "mox" button do?

The `mox` button inserts the following snippet:

You can target `.mox` in your theme’s CSS to highlight or style images, text blocks, or containers responsively.
