====== Plugins ======

There are a couple of plugins packaged with the default installation. See [[preferences]] on how to enable them.

A more general plugin framework allowing third-party plugins will be implemented in due time. For now the loading of these plugins is hard-coded in the main program.

===== Tray Icon =====
This plugin shows an icon in the system tray and enables a "hide to tray" feature. This can be particularly useful when you want to have zim running at all times.
The tray icon plugin needs the ''Gtk2::TrayIcon'' perl module.

===== Spell Checking =====
The spell checking plugin needs the ''Gtk2::Spell'' perl module, which in turn needs the gtkspell package. 

TODO: still needs controls to change the language of the spell checking.

===== Calendar Widget =====
The calendar plugin adds a popup calendar widget to zim. Each date is linked to a page in the "Date:" namespace.
