Description

https://learn.jquery.com/plugins/basic-plugin-creation/

When trying to follow this article, it doesn't seem to have a consistent flow in that it appears to be starting with the basics, adding more information, then "Putting it together" as a conclusion to demonstrate the end result of how to write a basic jQuery plugin. However, the penultimate section "Accepting Options" is then not depicted in the code under the concluding "Putting it together" section. This makes the article less helpful, more confusing, than it could otherwise be.
