Two parameters:
1 - Display text - The text used within the tag. If the field is left empty, it will use the default value from the plg_content_backbutton.ini language file.
2 - Wrap div - Yes/No put a div-tag around the anchor.
With regards to Wojciech Smolinski for making the plugin multi-language and Martin Cebulla for extending the translation into German.
Plugin from version 1.2 is compatible with Joomla! 1.7.x. I wrote a plugin that adds a button under the TinyMCE editor. This plugin version compatible with Joomla! 1.7.x can be downloaded here http://joomlacode.org/gf/download/frsrelease/16222/70425/plg_editors-xtd_backbutton_j17_v1.1.zip
Special thanks to Amund Haugsand for translating both plugins for Joomla 1.7.x into Swedish.
Included translations: English, German, Polish, Dutch, Swedish

I asked Wojciech to point me at the right .ccs files to customise the appearance of the button. So what did he do? He did it himself, registered with Joomla Forum specially, and posted an answer that, after a small tweak by me, works like a dream. Within 24 hours, I should add.
If you have a decent code editor like the Notepad++ I use, you can now copy code out of this short Joomla Forum thread to get a button that clones the Readmore button.

And the code works independently of color and background. So if Joomla 2.XX ever changes the look of the Readmore, your back button will change too. Even better, you yourself can change the color and background to whatever you like.
And all because we have here one developer with a truly generous spirit.
6 Stars!

to developer:
about your plugin, do you know if there’s any issues with internet explorer 6 ? I am running a virtualbox windows xp with sp3 and internet explorer 6 for testing compability with my website and in firefox your buttons shows up just fine in the content but in IE it reserves the space for it, but its empty.

This plugin is neat I guess if you want to manually add "{backbutton}" to every article....yourself.
This isn't made clear enough to most users. And I really fail to see the point. If users are comfortable putting "{backbutton}" into every article, they should also be comfortable doing a minor edit to their template.
One quick edit to your template, and you'll have a "Back" button in ALL content items automagically.
One edit. MUCH simpler than adding a strip of code to the bottom of every article manually. No plugin's or components needed either.
This has been tested in Jooomla 1.5.14 & 1.5.15
Thanks!
