# PreUpVer Loader (1.0.0)
## Introduction
PreUpVer is a versatile JavaScript library designed to automatically update the version numbers of library scripts in your documentation. It identifies specific `<pre>` tags on your webpage and updates them with the latest version tag fetched from a specified repository, ensuring your documentation always displays up-to-date information.
## How It Works
PreUpVer operates by searching for `<pre>` tags with a designated class (`preupver`) and using their data attributes to perform version updates. It simplifies the process of keeping your library references up-to-date in documentation.
### Automatic Detection and Updating
When the webpage loads, PreUpVer finds all `<pre>` tags marked with the `preupver` class. It then extracts necessary details from their data attributes and updates each tag with the latest library version.
### Usage
1. **Marking `<pre>` Tags:**
Add the `class="preupver"` to `<pre>` tags in your HTML and define the required data attributes for automatic updating:
```html
<pre id="unique-id" class="preupver"
data-api-url="https://api.github.com/repos/username/library/tags"
data-description="Description of the library script"
data-url="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/username/library@${version}/dist/library.min.js">
</pre>
```
Replace `unique-id`, `username`, `library`, and other placeholders with your specific details.
2. **Attributes Explained:**
- `id`: A unique identifier for the `<pre>` tag.
- `data-api-url`: The API URL to fetch the latest library version.
- `data-description`: A brief description of the library script.
- `data-url`: The URL of the script, where `${version}` will be replaced with the latest version number.
