## Description

The main purpose of the plugin is to start a discussion on how we could improve 
the editor in WordPress. This plugin is thus a very opinionated one. The button 
selection is done with reusable content in mind. All buttons that would results 
in harmful markup are removed.

The plugin also removes the kitchen sink button. Instead, there is an icon with 
three dots. Pressing that expands the row to contain all the available buttons. 
This works better with a responsive page than hard coded lines of buttons which 
in some widths break into four separate lines.

A detailed description of design decisions can be found [on my blog](http://akibjorklund.com/2015/editor-buttons-simplified).
