More tips on how the plugin works

Only files listed as an attachment at the bottom of a page are captured by this plugin.
- That means that images that have been uploaded through the "Upload picture:" option on the edit panel or uploaded to an image or file gallery and only linked to on the page will not be included. Other types of files (other than images) uploaded in the edit panel will be included because they appear in the list of attachments.
To link directly to a single attachment, one (and only one) of the following parameters should be used: name, file, id, num
To list attachments, use: page or all
Performance problems in versions prior to 3.0 (fixed in 3.0):
- The bullets parameter doesn't appear to work
- The list produced with the all parameter is poorly formatted
- A patch for these problems can be found at http://dev.tiki.org/tiki-view_tracker_item.php?itemId=2475
