For viewing partial pgns or a singular FEN position, add these modifiers to the pgn text
| Modifier | Explanation |
|---|---|
| [StartAtMove "8"] | This will skip the first 7 moves and start immediately at move 8. Must be a whole number. |
| [EndAtMove "15"] | This will cut off the game after move 15 and must be used in combination with StartAtMove. Must be a whole number. |
| [Fen "10w"] | Fen cannot be used with StartAtMove or EndAtMove because it is one position. This shows move 10 after white moved so it will be blacks move |
| [Fen "15b"] | This shows the position after Black moved in 15. It will be whites move. |
The icons use font-awesome 4 CSS. If you aren't already using that, simply put the cdn in the head of your html

| nodeToModify | string | N/A | HTML element that should be modified by nodeModification. Only applicable if innerHTML is true. |
| nodeModification | function | N/A | instructions for modify different HTML elements besides <pgn>. Only applicable if innerHTML is true. |
| backgroundColor | string | #e1e5ed | background of the entire viewer |
| blackSquareColor | string | SteelBlue | color of the dark squares |
| whiteSquareColor | string | AliceBlue | color of the light squares |
| orientation | string | 'w' | board orientation |
