The generated README can be included in the build or created in the root of your dist for e.g. inclusion into version control. PLUGIN NAME AUTODETECTION If you give the plugin an appropriate name (a string after the slash) in your dist.ini, it will can parse the "type" and "location" attributes from it. The format is "Readme[TYPE]In[LOCATION]". The words "Readme" and "In" are optional, and the whole name is case-insensitive. The SYNOPSIS section above gives one example. ATTRIBUTES type The file format for the readme. Supported types are "text", "markdown", "pod", and "html". filename The file name of the README file to produce. The default depends on the selected format. location Where to put the generated README file. Choices are: build This puts the README in the directory where the dist is currently being built, where it will be incorporated into the dist. root This puts the README in the root directory (the same directory that contains dist.ini). The README will not be incorporated into the built dist. METHODS prune_files Files with "location = root" must also be pruned, so that they don't sneak into the *next* build by virtue of already existing in the root dir. setup_installer Adds the requested README file to the dist. get_readme_content Get the content of the README in the desired format.
