Options ##

screenshot_url string*: Screenshot URL skeleton. Can contain {plugin}, {screenshot} and {ext} which each will be replaced with their appropriate values. Default: https://ps.w.org/{plugin}/assets/{screenshot}.{ext}
screenshot_ext string/array*: Either a string or an array of strings of the same size as there are screenshots. Default: png
uppercase boolean*: Specifies if the filenames should be converted to uppercase when translated to .md. Default: true
extract array/object*: Section names or object of section name: file basename pairs. Results in the specified sections being extracted into their individual file. By default no sections are extracted. You can use {basename} and {section} in the object's values which will be replaced by the source file's basename / the section name. Spaces in section name are converted to underscores. The uppercase option also applies for extracted file basenames. If an object is given you can also specify null as value to just remove a section instead of actually extracting it.
extract_basename string*: The default basename for extracted files. Only used if an array and not an object is specified in the extract option. Default: {basename}_{section}
details boolean*: If the details listing at the top of the readme file should be copied over. Default: true
