Bumping this old thread again as I accidentally "undid" some manual changes Jan did on cordova-plugin-camera README.
Part of the cordova-plugin-camera README is generated from here https://github.com/daserge/dmd-plugin-cordova-plugin/blob/master/partial/cdv-header.hbs and some other files on that repo. So I think we should remove that dependency and switch to a regular README without automatic generation as it's the only plugin doing that. Thoughts?
