# Format
## Traditional Format
The basic format of a META is as such:
```js
//META{"name":"Theme or Plugin Name"}*//
```
## New Format (Beta)
This is a new format developed jointly between Zerebos and Qwerasd with some input from square. Please note that there may be some unexpected issues that get solved as time goes on.
The new format of a META is as such:
```js
/**
* @name PluginOrThemeName
* @version 0.0.1
* @description Just a simple description of the content that may
* end up being pretty long
*
* @website http://twitter.com/BandagedBD
*/
```
