This code however is nearly two years old by now, back then this was the way to do it ;)

The other option (to embed JSON in your className) might be valid, but - one must admit - looks pretty weird. Nonetheless it does give more options and might be handy in some scenarios. I myself - of course - prefer the method posted in this post here ;-) An extension for this plugin - for example - could be to extract all data from an element (just like the metadataplugin does) and provide that as an object which one can then later one use (queriedData.gender for example). djot,
