+## Auto-generating your own plugin
+
+You will find a helper script in `gst-plugins/tools/make_element` to generate
+the source/header files for a new plugin.
+
+To create sources for `myfilter` based on the `gsttransform` template run:
+
+``` shell
+cd src;
+../tools/make_element myfilter gsttransform
+```
+
+This will create `gstmyfilter.c` and `gstmyfilter.h`. Open them in an editor and
+start editing. There are several occurances of the string `template`, update
+those with real values. The plugin will be called `myfilter` and it will have
+one element called `myfilter` too. Also look for `FIXME:` markers that point you
+to places where you need to edit the code.
+
+You can then add your sources files to `gst-plugins/meson.build` and re-run
+ninja to have your plugin built.

-WHAT IT IS
-----------
-
-gst-plugin is a template for writing your own GStreamer plug-in.
-
-The code is deliberately kept simple so that you quickly understand the basics
-of how to set up autotools and your source tree.
-
-This template demonstrates :
-- what to do in autogen.sh
-- how to setup configure.ac (your package name and version, GStreamer flags)
-- how to setup your source dir 
-- what to put in Makefile.am
-
-More features and templates might get added later on.
-
-HOW TO USE IT
--------------
-
-To use it, either make a copy for yourself and rename the parts or use the
-make_element script in tools. To create sources for "myfilter" based on the
-"gsttransform" template run:
-
-cd src;
-../tools/make_element myfilter gsttransform
-
-This will create gstmyfilter.c and gstmyfilter.h. Open them in an editor and
-start editing. There are several occurances of the string "template", update
-those with real values. The plugin will be called 'myfilter' and it will have
-one element called 'myfilter' too. Also look for "FIXME:" markers that point you
-to places where you need to edit the code.
-
-You still need to adjust the Makefile.am.
