Plugin README Files

Every EA plugin must include two README files inside its version folder:

1.0.0/
├── README-EN.md    ← English documentation
└── README-AR.md    ← Arabic documentation

These files are displayed on the plugin's store page in Motanamy. They contain two parts: a YAML frontmatter block with structured metadata, and a Markdown body with a full description.

Frontmatter

The frontmatter block sits at the top of the file between --- delimiters.

versions Structure

yaml
versions:
  - version: 1.0.0      # semantic version string
    number: 0           # version counter (matches versionNumber in setting.json)
    items:              # changelog items for this version
      - 'Initial release'
      - 'Added dashboard widget'

Image Path Format

Motanamy uses a comma (,) instead of / in image paths inside the frontmatter:

yaml
# Correct
image: images,logo.png       # → images/logo.png
slides:
  - images,screenshot1.png   # → images/screenshot1.png

# Wrong
image: images/logo.png

Markdown Body

Below the frontmatter, write a full Markdown description of your plugin. This is displayed as the main content of the store listing page.
