Topic designed for use with the Extension installer. It generates a specially formatted table which is parsed by the
extension finder, when retrieved with
?skin=text&contenttype=text/plain
. The table is a list of extensions specifications.
Each specification is enclosed in curly braces {} and defines a number of fields used by the extension installer, one per line,
using the syntax
key: value
The useful keys are:
- topic
- name of the extension topic
- classification
- to which category does this extension belong
- description
- short description (usually SHORTDESCRIPTION)
- compatibility
- freeform text which Foswiki/TWiki version is supported, as well as notes on platform
- version
- the available version
For example, the BathPlugin might be defined as follows:
{ topic: BathPlugin
description: Stop the water running out
classification: Security
compatibility: Foswiki 1.0
}
