<expand|tmdoc-title|Example of a plugin with <value|scheme> code>
<paragraph|The <verbatim|world> plugin>
Consider the <verbatim|world> plugin in the directory
<\verbatim>
\ \ \ \ $TEXMACS_PATH/examples/plugins
</verbatim>
This plugin shows how to extend <TeXmacs> with some additional
<value|scheme> code in the file
<\verbatim>
\ \ \ \ <expand|example-plugin-link|world/progs/init-world.scm>
</verbatim>
In order to test the <verbatim|world> plugin, you should recursively copy
the directory
<\verbatim>
\ \ \ \ $TEXMACS_PATH/examples/plugins/world
</verbatim>
to <verbatim|$TEXMACS_PATH/plugins> or <verbatim|$TEXMACS_HOME_PATH/plugins>.
When relaunching <TeXmacs>, the plugin should now be automatically
recognized (a <apply|menu|World> menu should appear in the menu bar).
<paragraph|How it works>
The file <verbatim|init-world.scm> essentially contains the following code:
<\expand|scheme-fragment>
(define (world-initialize)
\ \ (menu-extend texmacs-extra-menu
\ \ \ \ (=\<gtr\> "World"
\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ("Hello world" (insert-string "Hello world")))))
\;
(plugin-configure world
\ \ (:require #t)
\ \ (:initialize (world-initialize)))
</expand>
The configuration option <expand|scheme-code|:require> specifies a
condition which needs to be satisfied for the plugin to be detected by
<TeXmacs> (later on, this will for instance allow us to check whether
certain programs exist on the system). The configuration is aborted if the
requirement is not fulfilled.
The option <expand|scheme-code|:initialize> specifies an instruction which
will be executed during the initialization (modulo the fulfillment of the
requirement). In our example, we just create a new top level menu
<apply|menu|World> and a menu item <apply|menu|World|Hello world>, which
can be used to insert the text ``Hello world''. In general, the
initialization routine should be very short and rather load a module which
takes care of the real initialization. Indeed, keeping the
<verbatim|init-<em|myplugin>.scm> files simple will reduce the startup time
of <TeXmacs>.
