E-Books for you

For example, the group in our XML is foobar.
It may seem slightly obscure, but another piece of important information in the XML
is the filename tag plugin parameter. This parameter identifies the plugin element.
The element is a unique identifier used to determine the root plugin file and used as
part of the naming convention.
Be careful when you select an element name for your plugin. Only one plugin per
group may use any one element name. This table details reserved plugin element
names (used by the core):

Once you have built your XML manifest file, create a new PHP file named after
the plugin element; this is the file that is invoked when the plugin is loaded.
