annotate PLUGIN_HOWTO @ 27779:07de864fc024

Change yahoo_codes_to_html() to use the same USE_CSS_FORMATTING #define that myspace uses. If this is defined then we send css formatting to the core. Otherwise we send the old font tags to the core. This maintains compatability will old UIs which might not support span tags. We should probably set this flag for both Pidgin and Finch

For information on writing a plugin for Purple, Pidgin or Finch, go
http://developer.pidgin.im and click on API.  From there, see the HOWTOs in the
"Related Pages" section.

You can also generate this documentation locally by installing
doxygen and graphviz dot, then running "make docs" in the
source tree.  The documentation will be in the docs/html directory.
