This plugin replaces the tag <verinfo> with a string containing basic version/revision info on the current page. Even though most HTML templates emit this information (tpl_pageinfo()), renderer plugins such as ODT and Dokutexit do not emit this information automatically in the generated document.

Insert a <verinfo> tag where you want the version information to show up. The tag is replaced with the following information:

Last modified on <site format specific date/time> by <editor>

Create a new folder “lib/plugins/verionfo“ and create a file “syntax.php” with the above code as its contents.

: Probably verinfo dir, not verionfo

• This plugin is hugely based on the pagebreak plugin.
• Suggestions for changes
  • Accept a format for the generated version/revision string
  • Generate a field which can be accessed elsewhere and/or in ODT exports.
