I am reading the topic and it is from 2013 and has a lot inside that tells nothing about this function. (maybe i didn't read enough pages to find that,thats possible)
I downloaded the "help epub" and am busy with it,but help is something different then examples.
For sure I can leave this topic and go to another one to ask help but I tried to keep it a bit centralized as I am now subscribed to about 15 topics with 15 different questions.
It is not that I don't want to figure it out myself,it is not that I don't want to read about it but most of the time a plugin start with one function,then another comes by,then another and before you know it,it is one large topic,with a lot of oneliners and off topic things which is no problem if you follow the topic,but almost impossible when you just jump in.

So without want to be unfriendly because I also know you do a hell of a job,whats wrong with asking for an example here, if no one want to reply then it is ok to me,but maybe just one person can give a simple example and then it is ready,just to help me on the way..
It has nothing to do with unwilling or disrespect,but I am dyslectic and often lost in topics where people that are a lot further in programming and structure of the Kobo and the so many functions and plugins, who use terms they perfectly understand but i don't ?
Nick: The help has everything you need. For more, the plugins thread has it. There has been a lot of discussion on this function. Exactly where in the thread, I don't know for sure. But, if you look at the version history in the first post, you should be able to find when it was added or changed. Look for posts at around that time. In this case, the last major change was for version 2.0.

Asking me to give simple examples is a bit pointless. What I consider to be simple is different to what you or anyone else here thinks is simple. To my mind, what is in the help is as simple as is needed. If it isn't, then the guidance has to come from the people reading it and having problems. Try and follow it, ask questions about what you don't understand or what doesn't work. I. or someone else will answer. And if I can work out a better way to express it, I'll update the help. I have had very little feedback on the help, so I have to assume it is perfect and useful. The alternative is to assume that no one has read it. And of course I know that wouldn't be the case.

Posting here is great for you. It cuts down on the threads you need to monitor. But, it doesn't help anyone else. Multiple threads all over the place does not help anyone who needs the help later. And it means that those who are trying to answer the questions have to follow lots of threads.
