Improved plugin template

I’ve put together an improved template for plugin developers:

http://vigilant.tv/documents/tp/zem_tpl.php.txt

Features:

• Help text is now in Textile format
• No need to escape quotes in your code
• Plugin code syntax will be checked at compile time

Since the code is now inline, rather than an escaped string, it will be displayed correctly by syntax-highlighting editors.

Use it as you would the old template: copy the file to abc_myplugin.php, edit the appropriate sections, and run it at the command line or load it in a browser to compile.

More detailed instructions are in the file.

Re: Improved plugin template

Nicely done – encourages me to try my hand at a plugin someday. :)
