+# BastionLoot Pricelist plugin example
+
+## Documentation
+The .toc file as well as the main lua file of the addon have developer notes in comments.
+
+## Intended audience
+This is for guilds looking to customize the gearpoint values of items and avoid updates to the core BastionLoot addon from overwriting them.
+Some familiarity with addon structure and Lua is required.
