Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Readme Generator

If you think the plugin doesn't work, please try contacting me and I will endeavour to help. You can either start a forum topic on the WordPress site or leave a comment on my site on the plugin page Readme Generator Page.
The plugin by default will copy all the post content into the readme.txt but it tries to convert some HTML markup into 'readme.txt' syntax. Roughly it does the following: Convert <h3>Heading</h3> into == Heading == Convert <h5>Heading</h5> into = Heading = Convert <ul><li>Item</li></ul> into * Item Convert <ol><li>Item</li></ol> into 1. Item Convert Code into `Code` Convert <a href="LINK">Text</a> into [Text](LINK) Convert <em>Text</em> into *Text* Convert <stong>Text</strong> into **Text**
You plugin header is generated using the settings that have been entered into the 'Generate Readme File' options box on the page/post that you wish to use as the basis of the readme.txt. These settings are stored with the post/page as metadata, they are saved when you update/create the post.
If enabled the plugin will attempt to find all the '__()' and '_e()' items in all the php files in the plugin's directory and generate a standard .pot file using the strings that it finds. It will provide warnings if it finds more than one text-domain, or if the text domain is missing. However the php file parsing is quiet primitive and unmatched braces or quotes will probably confuse it ('()"'). Probably better to use xgettext, if you have it!
The readme file for this plugin was generated using the 'Readme Generator' plugin. The original post can be seen on my site's plugin page, in your browser select 'view page source' to see the HTML that created it (inside the 'content' div). You can see the readme.txt file that was generated by downloading the plugin or directly through this link. You can see how Wordpress renders this readme.txt at the Wordpress Plugin repository for the Readme Generator plugin.
