ReaPack: Package Manager for REAPER (developer thread)

[cfillion]

Mhh... ReaPack displays the How and the Why at the same location to the user.

This:

--[[
ReaScript Name: This goes in the package browser.
Description: This script does awesome things that will make you save 1 hour of repetitive work each day!
Instructions: Clap in your hands twice and do a backflip to make this script works.
--]]

...is equivalent to this in 1.1beta1's way:

--[[
Description: This goes in the package browser.
About:
  # Description
  This script does awesome things that will make you save 1 hour of repetitive work each day!

  # Instructions
  Clap in your hands twice and do a backflip to make this script works.
--]]

With markdown formatting it's quite pretty. Two ideas come to mind:

• Some kind of script (or search/replace) to transform to new header, or
• Special case for this kind of header: the indexer do the transformation on the fly (= concatenate description and instructions, add the markdown title)

So it's downstream vs upstream, I guess.
