## Description

While writing contents from the block editor, type `@` to get suggestions of users.
On selecting a user it will create a link to authors page of that user.
 To mention
a post, type `#` and it will give you the list of all matching posts. On selecting
a post it will create a link to the single post page.

#### Settings

This plugins adds a settings page under **Settings -> Mention Links**.

 1. **Display username or display-name:** This setting allows you choose whether to
    show user’s display-name or username when mentioning a user in a post.
 2. **Custom Post Types support:** Checking post types here will give you suggestions
    of posts from these post types.

**Note:** The posts suggestion list is retrieved from the WordPress REST API, so
if a particular post type doesn’t support REST API then you might not see it in **
Custom Post Types support** setting.
