+=head1 NAME
+
+Blosxom Plug-in: antispam
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This plugin converts any email addresses in your stories into ascii code.  It 
+has no visible or functional effect, other than to change the html source code.  
+So something like this:
+	fletcher@hidden.domain
+
+Looks like this:
+&#102;&#108;&#101;&#116;&#99;&#104;&#101;&#114;&#64;&#97;&#108;&#117;&#109;&#110;&#105;&#46;&#100;&#117;&#107;&#101;&#46;&#101;&#100;&#117;
+
+But when viewed with a web browser, it is translated back into the expected 
+human readable string.  The idea is that some of the spambots can't read this.  
+Though as this technique becomes more popular, I am sure that the spambots will 
+catch on.  But it can't hurt, right?
+
+
+I would like to figure out how to get this work with Writebacks as well to hide 
+email address that are submitted, but haven't gotten around to it.  If someone 
+wants to modify the code and let me know, I can distribute the modified version 
+and give you credit.
+
+Let me know of any bugs!!

+
+Allows you to create a list of keywords that are automatically converted to a url whenever they are used in a story.  You can insert "<!-- noautolink -->" in a story to prevent any changes
+
+You can set your own location for the autolinks data file, but by default it lives in your data directory.

+=head1 NAME
+
+Blosxom Plug-in: blacklist
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+Allows you to blacklist (or whitelist) certain IP addresses or IP ranges by using regexp's.  You create two files, consisting of one term per line.  The plugin compares the visitor's IP address to each term and quits when it finds a match.  Whitelists supercede blacklists.
+
+This plugin does not prevent blosxom from performing all of its steps.  Instead, if a visitor is blacklisted, it erases all of the HTML just prior to sending it to the visitor's browser, and instead sends a 404 code, making it appear as if your web pages are no longer present.

+=head1 NAME
+
+Blosxom Plug-in: entries_cache
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+Purpose: This plugin reserves original creation timestamp on weblog 
+entries, allowing for editing of entries without altering the original 
+creation time. It maintains an index ($blosxom::plugin_state_dir/
+.entries_cache.index) of filenames and their creation times. It also adds 
+new entries to the index the first time Blosxom come across them. In 
+addition, it is possible to rely on entries_cache inserting date-based meta 
+tags automatically into entries - this is enabled by the $use_date_tags 
+setting. This makes the entries more portable. Note that if this approach 
+is used, the meta plugin is required: http://www.blosxom.com/downloads/
+plugins/meta.  (NOTE: As of version 0.91 you can use this without the meta
+plugin.)
+
+Replaces the default $blosxom::entries subroutine
+
+The entries_cache plugin is a "souped-up" version of the entries_index 
+plugin.  It maintains file modification times in the same manner as the 
+original plugin, but goes one-step further. It uses the modification time 
+of the index file to determine whether to rescan the datadir.  If $delay 
+minutes have not passed, it relies on the cached information.
+
+You can force a manual scan by appending ?reindex=y to the end of your base 
+url.
+
+The reason for this change is that the original blosxom and the 
+entries_index plugin rescan the datadir each time a page is viewed. This 
+plugin allows you to cache the information to speed up processing times on 
+most page views.  According to several posts on the blosxom mailing list, 
+this is one of the big processor hogs. With a $delay setting of 60 minutes, 
+there will only be one page view each hour that has to wait for the full 
+directory scan. To be honest, I have not noticed much of a speed boost 
+during my testing yet, but I imagine it would only appear for sites with a 
+large number of files to be indexed.
+
+
+=head1 VERSION
+
+0.92
+
+=head1 VERSION HISTORY
+0.92    Checks if meta-creation_date is in the future and only displays
+        entry if $show_future_entries is set. Otherwise future articles
+        (by meta-creation_date or file modified time) are not displayed.
+        Don't think this breaks static rendering... haven't tested it.
+        
+0.91	Improved documentation courtesy of Iain Cheyne - THANKS!!!
+		Now, if you are not running the meta plugin, you will not see any meta tags in your stories
+
+0.9		Added parser that detects stories that are not properly formatted for meta-tags and reformats them so that they are.
+		Additionally, it will not update files that have improper line endings ( ie non-UNIX endings).
+ 
+0.8		Fixed typo that caused index to be rebuilt every time...  :)
+
+0.7		Major revisions - fixed the "Year 1900" bug and an issue with statically generated blogs misbehaving
+
+0.61	Fixed bug reading old styled cache files
+
+0.6		Added feature to automatically create meta-tags from indexed
+				time/date
+				
+0.52	Fixed a bug where a new index might not be written
+
+0.51	Added dd/mm/yy(yy) and mm/dd/yy(yy) date formatting
+
+0.5		Complete rewrite - add support for %others, meta- tags, added backwards compatibility to using the .entries_index.index file from rael's plugin
+
+0.2		Removed reliance on Data::Dumper, making it suitable for use on Earthlink

+
+Blosxom Plug-in: find
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Find searches through the available articles and filters out those that do not match the submitted search terms.  To use it, simply place $find::searchform in your template, and it will create a search box that automatically calls the search routine.  It performs a boolean "OR" search by default, or you can use regular expressions for more complicated search terms.
+
+This plugin is capable of handling the following search terms
+
+term1 term2; term1 or term2
+	These match any page with term1 OR term2
+	
+term1 and term2; +term1 +term2
+	These match any page with both term1 AND term2
+	
+term1 not term2; term1 -term2
+	This matches pages with term1 that DO NOT contain term2
+	
+term1 not (term2 term3)
+	This matches pages with term1 that DO NOT contain term2 OR term3
+
+"term1 term2 term3"
+	This matches the exact phrase, term1 term2 term3
+
+" pen "
+	This will match the word "pen", but not the word "pencil".
+	
+You can also use regular expressions within your search terms to further refine your searches, creating a very powerful search engine.
+
+Additionally, you can include the most recent search requests in your blog.  Add $find::recentsearches in your template.  By default, the last 10 searches will be shown in an unordered list.  You can change $max_previous_searches to alter the number displayed.

+=head1 NAME
+
+Blosxom Plug-in: iconset
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+IconSet allows you to set an icon to be used within a particular story.  Set the $logos_url to the url for your icons.  You then use the <!-- iconset ### --> directive within a story to set an icon to be displayed for that story.  If a default icon is set by the icons plug-in, it will be overridden.
+
+If the icons plugin is present, then you may continue to use the $icons::icons variable.  Otherwise, you can use the $iconset::iconset variable.
+
+The $icon_file allows you to set an icon for any story in a category by using a definitions file.  This allows you to set an icon for any category, whether it is top level or not, without having a world readable datadir.  (The original icons plugin cannot do this.)
+
+The format for iconfile is:
+path=iconfile
+
+and uses regexp's for either expression. So, 
+/computers/blosxom=blosxom.gif will set the icon to blosxom.gif for any file in the computers/blosxom directory, or any of its subdirectories.
+
+If you later defined:
+/computers/blosxom/newstuff=cool.png, then anything in this one subdirectory will have a different icon.  The line that matches last is the one that "sticks."
+
+By using this technique, you can replace the icons plugin altogether by replacing $iconset::iconset in your templates wherever you used to use $icons::icons.  If you do this, then change the $use_icons_plugin variable.

+=head1 NAME
+
+Blosxom Plug-in: karma
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Karma allows you to have your visitors score articles in a positive/negative fashion.  It then calculates various scores that you can use to incorporate a "Top 10 Articles" section, or something similar, into your website.
+
+To install:
+
+1) place the karma plugin in your plugins directory, with proper file permissions
+
+2) ensure the configuration variables are properly set:
+	$datafile should be left alone, unless you have customized where plugins store information
+
+	$ip_list should include the IP addresses of any visitors you do NOT wish to be counted in scoring.  For instance, you should probably include your own IP address to prevent falsely biasing the numbers as you read and reread your site looking for errors
+
+	The $minkarma_var, $mincontroversy_var, and $mininterest_var variables can be used to customize the url's used to filter articles.
+
+3) You can modify the HTML code snippets at the bottom of the story subroutine ($karma::stats and $karma::votelinks) to alter the display of the scores, and the vote submission links as you see fit.
+
+
+Once installed, modify your story.flavour files to include the $karma::stats and $karma::votelinks variables.
+
+Now, when you visit your site, you should see the scoring and links displayed with each story.  Each time you view a story individually, its visit count is advanced one.  Each time you click on the "I liked..." or "I didn't..." links, the positive and negative vote scores will be modified appropriately.
+
+These numbers are used to calculate several variables:
+
+	$karma_index - this is a rating from 0 to 10 of how positively the story was viewed
+
+	$interest_index - this is a rating from 0 to 10 of what proportion of people who viewed the story bothered to vote on it.  This will be artificially low, as many people might view the story as part of a category, and their visit will NOT be counted.  I am open to ideas as to how to more accurately handle this, keeping in mind that many stories that are displayed are not actually read (ie, older stories at the bottom of a blog...)
+
+	$controversy_index - this is a rating that I came up with just for fun.  It is a measure of how many people voted, and how divergent their opinions were.  For instance, as the interest_index goes up, the controversy_index goes up.  As the votes are more evenly split between positives and negatives, the controversy_index goes up.  A story with 100% positive (or negative) votes, will have a 0 controversy index (everyone is in agreement, therefore there is no controversy...)  It's not a very scientific number at all, but sort of fun nonetheless.
+
+4) You can add links to your site that will display the articles with the highest interest, karma, or controversy by using the $minkarma_var variables discussed in #3 above.
+
+For instance you could add a url in your header file like this:
+<a href="/weblog/index.html?minkarma=5">Show The Most-Liked Articles</a>
+
+This would allow the display of only those articles with a karma above 5.  In the future, I hope to add a sort routine that would sort stories by the various indices, but currently the stories are unsorted.
+
+=head1 NOTE
+
+This plugin filters out articles only.  It does not locate any articles on its own.
+
+Also, it uses the filter routine.  Therefore, it will interact with any other plugins that make use of the filtered articles list.  You may need to add numbers to the beginning of plugin names (ie, "55karma") to control the load order if you seem to be having unintended results.  For instance, karma will prevent some topics from being added by my "menu" plugin, unless it loads after menu.

+=head1 NAME
+
+Blosxom Plug-in: login
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+Login allows you to create a passwd file that defines usernames and passwords for your web site.  Another file, $excludefile, defines which users can access certain parts of your site.  The format for the files is explained above.
+
+$login::username provides the users login, once it has been validated against the database.  It remains "" if someone is not logged in.
+
+$login::loginform provides the login/logout box.  Place it in your templates wherever you like.
+$login::message gives certain status messages.
+
+By default, login provides logging messages when certain errors occur, and when a failed login attempt happens.
+
+$login::signupform provides html code for a simple account sign up form.  Once a user submits the information, it is added to a text file defined by $pending_file.  If you want to add the account, simply copy the user and password hash to the defined password file in the format "user:hash" as defined by the htpasswd command.
+
+
+PLEASE NOTE:  I am not a security expert.  I can't guarantee that there isn't a huge loophole in this somewhere.  And note - any malicious plug-in could expose a whole by tampering with the $username variable - verify that other plugins do not attempt to manipulate $login::username or access the cookies.  But this is more a matter of being careful which plugins you install.
+
+Also, this plugin does not pretend to offer serious security.  Someone could read a restricted file if they have read access to the location that the file is stored.  This could occur if you datadir is in your web servers documentroot.  
+
+There are many issues to consider when securing a web site, and I don't pretend to address them all, nor do I guarantee that this plugin even works properly.  It is simply a means to provide some form of control without much effort on your part.  You get what you pay for.  But I will continue to work with the community to improve it as security holes are noted.

+=head1 NAME
+
+Blosxom Plug-in: menu
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This creates a menu ($menu::menu)showing the available subdirectories from your current position.  A subdirectory, or one of its "descendents" must have a story in it in order to be shown in the menu (ie, it does not lead down "blind alleys").  Additionally, it abides by the excluded sections if the exclude plug-in is enabled.
+
+The default configuration settings at the begin lead to a sort of reversal of the breadcrumbs plug-in.
+
+Additionally, the $menu::rootmenu variable contains the top level directories, regardless of the current page.

+=head1 NAME
+
+Blosxom Plug-in: recentwritebacks
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+RecentWritebacks locates stories with comments posted within a specified period of time. If you are like me, you find it hard to keep up with comments posted to older articles.  This plugin is designed to assist with that.  You can also use it to make it easier for visitors to your site to locate the "Hot Topics" where writebacks are being submitted.
+
+To use it, simply install the plugin and configure the $writebacks_extension and $writebacksdir variables.  They should match whatever you used in the writebacks plugin.
+
+You can then use a url similar to:
+	http://some.host/weblog/index.html?recent=5
+to locate posts with comments written in the last 5 days.  You can also create links on your site to make this easier for your visitors.
+
+You are also welcome to change the $switch_word variable to whatever you like to fit your site.

+
+Blosxom Plug-in: redirect
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+One problem with having a weblog is that you become somewhat committed to your URL structure.  If you decide to rearrange your site, you run the risk of breaking external links.  The autocorrect plugin helps, attempting to find a story that might have moved.
+
+The difficulty with this is that the url's don't really get fixed.
+
+I recently moved my site out  of the "/weblog" directory by improving my .htaccess file.  I like the url's better, but I have lots of links out there that still point to the "/weblog" hierarchy.  I came up with some ways of pointing this out to human viewers, but robots still travel the old hierarchy, and it's a pain for people to figure out where to go.
+
+This plugin allows you to set up a redirect file that consists of lines like the following:
+path/to/some/article=>new/path/to/article
+
+If someone tries to go to a non-existent directory, you can re-route them automatically to the new location, and the url is updated in their browser.  For instance, my redirect file looks like this:
+weblog/=>
+
+Basically it strips out the weblog directory, creating a URL that is now valid.

+=head1 NAME
+
+Blosxom Plug-in: seewritebacks
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This plugin makes it easy to have a consistent writebacks interface to your site, that is compatible with multiple themes.  For example, you can create a blue flavor, and a red flavor for your site that change the appearance, but still have writebacks enabled.  With the default writebacks plugin, this gets complicated and requires a separate writebacks flavor for each primary flavor.
+
+Well, say goodbye to that!!
+
+	1) Drop this plugin into your plugins directory.
+	2) Copy the writebacksform.general file to your flavor directory or your datadir.
+	3) Make sure you still have the writeback.$flavour file of your choosing installed
+	4) Put "$seewritebacks::writebacksform" at the end of your story.$flavor file
+	5) Make the following changes to your story.$flavor file:
+Original:
+(<a href="$url$path/$fn.$flavour">$writeback::count Comments</a>)
+
+Modified:
+(<a href="$url$path/$fn.$flavour?seewritebacks=y">$writeback::count Comments</a>)
+
+Note that your story.flavor file may be slightly different.  You are adding the ?seewritebacks=y to the url, which causes this plugin to act.
+
+	6) Repeat steps 4-5 for each flavor that you wish to update.
+	7) If you choose, you can create a writebacksform.$flavor file to customize the appearance for each flavor, but this is unnecessary.
+
+	It sounds complicated, but it's not that bad.  If you have suggestions on how to improve these instructions, let me know.
+
+	The upshot is that you can now have multiple flavors for your site that change the appearance, and all of them can use writebacks, and plugins such as breadcrumbs don't give unexpected results.
+
+ 
+=head1 CHANGES
+
+0.3	Forced interpolation as interpolate_fancy broke the previous interpolation.  Thanks to Andy for this report.
+
+0.2	Added a patch to allow the writebacks plugin to set $seewritebacks to 1 to ensure that a comment is displayed as soon as it is posted
+
+0.1	Initial Release

+=head1 NAME
+
+Blosxom Plug-in: zlocaldepth
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+This plugin restricts entries to those within the $zlocaldepth::localdepth variable, which works just like blosxom's $depth variable.  Except that it is always calculated relative to the current directory.  This is useful, because unlike the built-in depth variable, it can be appropriately set from a config file via the config plugin to easily allow different depths in different parts of your site.
+
+
+BTW, the name starts with a z so that it will follow other plugins that affect 
+filters and abide by their settings.
