*  INSTALLATION			*
*********************************

Upload list_books_feed.php to the wp-content/plugins directory

Create a folder called cache in the wp-content/plugins directory, set the permissions to global write (chmod 777)

Login to your WordPress admin section and activate the List Books plugin


*********************************
*  HOW TO USE			*
*********************************

The List Books Feed Plugin provides several different formats, the standard way to call the plugin is:


display_list_books_latest('format');


format can be one of the following:

none
This produces the list without any wrapping elements and a simple line break between the title and author.

list
This is the default and produces an unorderded list with the book details wrapped in an li tag with a line break separating title and author.

ordered
This produces the same as the list format, except it uses an ordered list so you get numbers (or whatever your stylesheet dictates) alongside the book details.

inline
This produces a single inline list, separated by commas, of all the books.


Please note that if you change the formatting you should either delete the html file created in the cache folder (list_books_latest.html) or wait up to 24 hrs for the formatting to change.
