The README.md already have a section <https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-camera#this-documentation-is-generated-by-a-tool> about how the README.md is generated. But maybe it should be more clear and say that the README.md shouldn't be updated manually.
BTW, I sent a PR <https://github.com/apache/cordova-plugin-camera/pull/291> to make the template be in sync with the README.md changes. If anybody can take a look it would be good. Not sure if I can merge while the tests are failing, but I only changed the template, so I'm pretty sure I didn't break anything and tests are failing in all other plugins, but that's another topic. About if it's a good idea, I've found the original cordova-discuss issue <https://github.com/apache/cordova-discuss/issues/15> and proposal <https://github.com/apache/cordova-discuss/pull/16> and reading them I think it's a good idea as I understand that the API part of the docs are automatically generated from the js files, which avoids them to be out of sync if a js change is made. 2017-10-15 1:07 GMT+02:00 Jan Piotrowski <piotrow...@gmail.com>: > The "not aware" problem can probably be resolved (80/20) by adding > comments to the template that are also in the generated output. > > But it the TEMPLATE.md actually a good idea?
