|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Here is a short description of the plugin. This should be no more than 150 characters. No markup here.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
== Description ==
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This is the long description. No limit, and you can use Markdown (as well as in the following sections).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
For backwards compatibility, if this section is missing, the full length of the short description will be used, and
|
||||||
|
Markdown parsed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A few notes about the sections above:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* "Contributors" is a comma separated list of wp.org/wp-plugins.org usernames
|
||||||
|
* "Tags" is a comma separated list of tags that apply to the plugin
|
||||||
|
* "Requires at least" is the lowest version that the plugin will work on
|
||||||
|
* "Tested up to" is the highest version that you've *successfully used to test the plugin*. Note that it might work on
|
||||||
|
higher versions... this is just the highest one you've verified.
|
||||||
|
* Stable tag should indicate the Subversion "tag" of the latest stable version, or "trunk," if you use `/trunk/` for
|
||||||
|
stable.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Note that the `readme.txt` of the stable tag is the one that is considered the defining one for the plugin, so
|
||||||
|
if the `/trunk/readme.txt` file says that the stable tag is `4.3`, then it is `/tags/4.3/readme.txt` that'll be used
|
||||||
|
for displaying information about the plugin. In this situation, the only thing considered from the trunk `readme.txt`
|
||||||
|
is the stable tag pointer. Thus, if you develop in trunk, you can update the trunk `readme.txt` to reflect changes in
|
||||||
|
your in-development version, without having that information incorrectly disclosed about the current stable version
|
||||||
|
that lacks those changes -- as long as the trunk's `readme.txt` points to the correct stable tag.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If no stable tag is provided, it is assumed that trunk is stable, but you should specify "trunk" if that's where
|
||||||
|
you put the stable version, in order to eliminate any doubt.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
== Installation ==
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

||||||

|
||||||
|
1. Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
== Screenshots ==
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
1. This screen shot description corresponds to screenshot-1.(png|jpg|jpeg|gif). Note that the screenshot is taken from
|
||||||
|
the directory of the stable readme.txt, so in this case, `/tags/4.3/screenshot-1.png` (or jpg, jpeg, gif)
|
||||||
|
2. This is the second screen shot

== Changelog ==
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
= 1.0 =
|
||||||
|
* A change since the previous version.
|
||||||
|
* Another change.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
== Upgrade Notice ==
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

|
||||||
|
Upgrade notices describe the reason a user should upgrade. No more than 300 characters.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

||||||

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
== Arbitrary section ==
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You may provide arbitrary sections, in the same format as the ones above. This may be of use for extremely complicated
|
||||||
|
plugins where more information needs to be conveyed that doesn't fit into the categories of "description" or
|
||||||
|
"installation." Arbitrary sections will be shown below the built-in sections outlined above.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

"Markdown is what the parser uses to process much of the readme file"
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Markdown uses email style notation for blockquotes and I've been told:
|
||||||
|
> Asterisks for *emphasis*. Double it up for **strong**.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
`<?php code(); // goes in backticks ?>`
