<tmdoc-title|Summary of the configuration options for plug-ins>
As explained before, the <value|scheme> configuration file
<verbatim|<em|myplugin>/progs/init-<em|myplugin>.scm> of a plug-in with
name <verbatim|<em|plugin>> should contain an instruction of the type
<\scheme-fragment>
(plugin-configure <em|myplugin>
\ \ <em|configuration-options>)
</scheme-fragment>
Here follows a list of the available <verbatim|<em|configuration-options>>:
<\description-dash>
<item*|<verbatim|<with|font-series|medium|(:require
<em|condition>)>>>This option specifies a sanity
<verbatim|<em|condition>> which needs to be satisfied by the plug-in.
Usually, it is checked that certain binaries or libraries are present on
your system. If the condition fails, then <TeXmacs> will continue as
whether your plug-in did not exist. In that case, further configuration
is aborted. The <verbatim|:require> option usually occurs first in the
list of configuration options.
<item*|<verbatim|<with|font-series|medium|(:version
<em|version-cmd>)>>>This option specifies a <value|scheme> expression
<verbatim|<em|version-cmd>> which evaluates to the version of the
plug-in.
<item*|<verbatim|<with|font-series|medium|(:setup <em|cmd>)>>>This
command is only executed when the version of the plug-in changed from one
execution of <TeXmacs> to another one. This occurs mainly when installing
new versions of <TeXmacs> or helper applications.
<item*|<verbatim|<with|font-series|medium|(:initialize <em|cmd>)>>>This
option executes the <value|scheme> expression <verbatim|<em|cmd>>. It
usually occurs just after the <verbatim|:require> option, so that the
plug-in will only be configured if the plug-in really exists. For large
plug-ins, it is important to keep the file
<verbatim|<em|myplugin>/progs/init-<em|myplugin>.scm> small, because it
will be rerun each time you start <TeXmacs>. In order to reduce the boot
time, most <value|scheme> commands of the plug-in therefore occur in
separate modules, some of which may be loaded by the initialization
command.
<item*|<verbatim|<with|font-series|medium|(:launch <em|shell-cmd>)>>>This
option specifies that the plug-in is able to evaluate expressions over a
pipe, using a helper application which is launched using the
shell-command <verbatim|<em|shell-cmd>>.
<item*|<verbatim|<with|font-series|medium|(:link <em|lib-name>
<em|export-struct> <em|options>)>>>This option is similar to
<verbatim|:launch>, except that the extern application is now linked
dynamically. For more information, see the section about
<hyper-link|dynamic linking|../interface/interface-dynlibs.en.tm>.
<item*|<verbatim|<with|font-series|medium|(:session
<em|menu-name>)>>>This option indicates that the plug-in supports an
evaluator for interactive shell sessions. An item
<verbatim|<em|menu-item>> will be inserted to the <menu|Insert|Session>
menu in order to launch such sessions.
<item*|<verbatim|<with|font-series|medium|(:serializer
,<em|fun-name>)>>>If the plug-in can be used as an evaluator, then this
option specifies the <value|scheme> function <verbatim|<em|fun-name>>
which is used in order to transform <TeXmacs> trees to strings.
<item*|<verbatim|<with|font-series|medium|(:commander
,<em|fun-name>)>>>This command is similar to the <verbatim|:serializer>
option except that it is used to transform special commands to strings.
<item*|<verbatim|<with|font-series|medium|(:tab-completion #t)>>>This
command indicates that the plug-in supports tab-completion.
<item*|<verbatim|<with|font-series|medium|(:test-input-done #t)>>>This
command indicates that the plug-in provides a routine for testing whether
the input is complete.
