Plugins
Webber doesn't do much on it's own. Almost all the real work is delegated to plugins. Those plugins do:
- Read files and generate HTML snippets (read_rst.py, read_markdown.py, read_html.py) or copy files verbatim, e.g. for graphics (read_copyonly.py)
- Update internal state or modify HTML snippets (hierarchy.py, link.py)
- Create HTML pages (template_mako.py)
- Create additional output files (google_sitemap.py)
There's another plugin there (skeleton.py), which is is just a demo for plugin-programmers.
Plugins simply reside in the "plugins/" directory from webber itself. If your
web project needs local plugins, you can specifiy additional plugins with
"plugin_dirs" in webber.conf.
Note that webber doesn't load all of them automatically. Instead you specify
in the configuration file webber.conf which plugins you
want. Use the variable "plugins" for that.
Once plugins are loaded, webber orchestrates the work of itself and all plugins via Hooks.
