The plugin already comes with 2 pre-built template layouts and using MVC overrides you can create your own by simply copying one of the pre-built and modifying the HTML and/or CSS.
You can use the plugin's tags in any component, module or plugin that supports 'content plugin' parsing. Aside the default Joomla article system, you can use for example the plugin in the popular K2 content extension, in Virtuemart, inside the 'Custom HTML' module etc.
It has been tested on all modern browsers, including IE7 or higher. It should degrade gracefully in IE6.
This plugin is released under the GNU/GPL license.

Inserting "Tabs"
It is very easy to add tabs in your new articles or convert existing ones to a tabbed layout. Create a new article or edit an existing one. Start your first tab using the plugin tag "tab title here
" (without the quotes), write some text below that, then continue with the next tab using -again- the plugin tag format "other tab title here
" (without the quotes), then write the second tab's text and so on. When you finish the text of your last tab, simply "close" them all by adding the plugin tag "Check out this example, it's what you would write in your content item (notice the code written in bold letters):
This is some text above the tabsAnd some more text after the tabs!first tab title here
some text heresecond tab title here
some more text herethird tab title here
some more text here and so on..
Inserting "Sliders"
Adding sliders (accordions) to your content is as easy as with tabs. Then go to the articles manager and start a new article or edit an existing one. Start your first slide using the plugin string "Check out this example, it's what you would write in your article (notice the code written in bold letters):
This is some text above the tabssome text heresome more text heresome more text here and so on...
IMPORTANT
Please note that we use the plugin tag "slider" above as it's the correct way to address this feature. The use of the "slide" tag (without the final "r" - used in older versions) is still compatible so you can just update to this newer version.
You can insert both "Tabs" and "Sliders" in your articles, K2 items, Virtuemart products etc. Additionally, you can mix tabs with sliders and vise versa but you can't have tabs within tabs or sliders within sliders (cause it's overkill and hell would break loose). So you can have tabs that include content within sliders or sliders that include tabbed content! Nice!
