+# ImHex Plugin Template
+# =====================
+
+# This is the official CMake template for making your own ImHex plugins
+# To use this template, copy the file into its own directory and modify it to your needs
+# For the most part, this is a regular CMake project with some extra functions provided by the ImHex SDK
+#
+# [NOTE FOR NON-C++ PLUGINS]
+# The template is laid out for a C++ plugin, however you can write your plugin in any language you want
+# and just make the plugin statically link against your code. The only thing that's required is a .cpp file with
+# the IMHEX_PLUGIN_SETUP() macro used in it. This macro is used to setup the plugin and register it with ImHex
+#
+# [CMAKE FUNCTIONS]
+# add_imhex_plugin(): Registers a new plugin
+#   NAME:           The name of the plugin
+#   IMHEX_VERSION:  The ImHex version this plugin is compatible with. If unset, the plugin will be loaded on all versions (this may not work though)
+#   SOURCES:        Source files of the plugin
+#   INCLUDES:       Include directories of the plugin
+#   LIBRARIES:      Libraries to link against
+#   FEATURES:       Optional features that can be enabled or disabled
+#   LIBRARY_PLUGIN: If set, turns this plugin into a library plugin. Library plugins can be linked against by other plugins
+#
+# add_romfs_resource(filePath romfsPath): Adds a file to the romfs of the plugin
+# The RomFS is a virtual filesystem whose files can be accessed by the plugin using the functions in the `romfs::` namespace
+# This function is used to add a single file to the romfs. You can however also simply create a `romfs` directory in your plugin directory and place your files and folders in there
+#   filePath:   The path to the file on the disk
+#   romfsPath:  The path to the file in the romfs
+#
+# enable_plugin_feature(feature): Enables a plugin feature
+# Features are optional parts of the plugin that may or may not be available depending on build settings
+# When a feature is enabled, `IMHEX_FEATURE_ENABLED(feature)` will be defined to true. Otherwise, it will be defined to false
+# Use the `IMHEX_PLUGIN_FEATURES` macro in the main plugin file to define names to each feature and have them be listed in the plugin list
+#   feature:    The name of the feature to enable
+

+project(ImHexPlugin)
+
+# Include the ImHex SDK
+# For this to work, you need to set the IMHEX_SDK_PATH environment variable to the path of the ImHex SDK
+#
+# On Windows, the SDK is next to the ImHex executable
+# On Linux, the SDK is usually in /usr/share/imhex/sdk but this may vary depending on your distribution
+# On MacOS, the SDK is located inside of the ImHex.app bundle under ImHex.app/Contents/Resources/sdk

+
+# Register the plugin
+# This will configure everything you need to make your plugin work
+# Modify the arguments to your needs. Right now it defines a plugin called `example_plugin`
+# with a single source file called `example_plugin.cpp` in the `source` directory
+# By default you have access to the libimhex library to interact with ImHex
+# as well as libwolv, libromfs, libfmt and ImGui, but you can link against any libraries you want
