README

This package may be used to parse the readme.txt or readme.md file of a WordPress plugin to extract metadata about the plugin, such as the plugin name, required PHP version, tested, and description. It is derived directly from the WordPress.org's readme parser, but with a few modifications to make it compatible with a wider range of PHP versions.
