 ## Functions:
 ### ```vl_hollow_logs.register_hollow_log(defs)```
 This is the function that registers the hollow trunk.
-For a hollow log to be registered, the <span style="color:firebrick"> defs </span> parameter must be a table that contains up to 5 values, which are, in this order, the <span style="color:firebrick"> itemstring </span>  of the hollow log, the <span style="color:firebrick"> itemstring </span>  of the stripped hollow log, the <span style="color:firebrick"> description </span>  of the hollow log, the <span style="color:firebrick"> description </span>  of the stripped hollow log and, optionally, a <span style="color:turquoise"> boolean </span>  to inform whether this trunk is NOT flammable. If the hollow log is defined as flammable, it becomes part of the <span style="color:springgreen"> hollow_log_flammable </span> group, which allows the log to be used as fuel for furnaces and also allows it to be an ingredient for chacoal.
