<div 
data-image-name="IMAGE_NAME.jpg" 
data-split="horizontal-counterclockwise" 
></div>

data-split="horizontal-counterclockwise" 
data-caption-header="Title" 
data-caption-text="Place paragraph text here" 
data-caption-cite="Firstname Lastname"

Change the “data-caption-text” value to add text.
Change the “data-caption-cite” value to add a cited name or delete this line if you are not using a quote.

NOTE: RapidWeaver’s editor uses two types of quotation marks. Be sure your code uses straight quotation marks Screen Shot 2013-12-20 at 10.24.50 AM and not curly quotation marks Screen Shot 2013-12-20 at 10.25.02 AM. The curly quotation marks are not recognized as code and will cause the slider to load improperly.
