There's documentation if you want to [[write]] your own plugins, or you can
install and use plugins contributed by others.
The [[mdwn]], [[inline]], and [[htmlscrubber]] plugins are enabled by default.
To enable other plugins, use the `--plugin` switch described in [[usage]],
or the equivalent `add_plugins` line in [[ikiwiki.setup]].
# Plugin directory
Add all plugins here. Or add ideas to the [[todo|todo/plugin]] page.

# Installing third party plugins
Plugins are perl modules and should be installed somewhere in the perl
module search path. See the @INC list at the end of the output of `perl -V`
for a list of the directories in that path. All plugins are in the
IkiWiki::Plugin namespace, so they go in a IkiWiki/Plugin subdirectory
inside the perl search path. For example, if your perl looks in
`/usr/local/lib/site_perl` for modules, you can locally install ikiwiki
plugins to `/usr/local/lib/site_perl/IkiWiki/Plugin`
