This CMS utilizes a modular plugin system to extend its core functionality. Here is an overview of the most important ones you might encounter.

Plugins for Content and Appearance

  • Alerts & Notices: Allow inserting colored informational boxes using syntax like ! or |.
  • Emoji: Converts shortcodes (e.g., :smile:) into graphical emojis.
  • TOC (Table of Contents): Automatically generates the table of contents from page headings.
  • Author: Displays the author's name and publication date below the article (if defined in YAML).

Functional and Diagnostic Plugins

Some plugins add special pages (routes) to the system, which are usually intended for diagnostics or specific functions.

  • Search: Handles all the logic for site-wide searching.
  • Page Tree: Generates a complete sitemap (tree structure).
  • Memory Stats: Displays statistics on memory usage by individual application processes. Useful for performance debugging.
  • Test Dump Page Cache: Outputs the complete content of the PAGE_CACHE to a text file. Intended exclusively for developers and debugging.
  • Optimizer: Generates and manages a Service Worker in the background, which caches static files (CSS, JS) in the browser for significantly faster repeated page loads.
  • Page Statistics: A simple system for tracking the number of views for individual pages.
