## Description

Easily embed documents supported by Google Docs (PDF/DOC/DOCX/PPTX/etc)with a simple
shortcode `[gviewer]`

Ex. [gviewer file=”https://example.com/thisismyfile.pdf”]

A full list of attributes:

 * `file` — **Required**. The URL of the file you wish to show
 * `width` — Optional. The desired width of the viewer in pixels. If no width is
   set, the value of the theme’s `$content_width` will be used. If no value is set,
   the width will default to 600 px.
 * `height` — Optional. The desired height of the viewer in pixels. If height is
   set, the height will 1.2 times the width. For example, if the width is 100 px,
   the height will be 120 px.
 * `language` — The language of the document. If the document is written in a right-
   to-left (RTL) language (like Hebrew and Arabic), specifying the language will
   apply RTL settings.

Another way to embed a Google Document is by using the template tag provided by 
the plugin in the source code. Here’s an example:

    ```
    <?php

    echo simple_gviewer_embed( 'https://.../file.pdf', $args );
    ```

The second argument, `$args`, is an associative array. Keys can be found in the 
list above.
