Using plug-ins

SimplyHTML provides a mechanism to extend the main editing functionalities of the application by external objects called 'plug-ins'. Plug-ins are installed by copying one or more plug-in files into the directory SimplyHTML is installed in. Once installed, a plug-in is loaded and activated inside SimplyHTML upon start of the application by default.

Accessing plug-in functions

Each plug-in provides an own menu in menu 'Plugin' of SimplyHTML where all plug-in functionality is available. In addition there usually is a menu item in the 'Help' menu having documentation on the plug-in.
