All functions takes a CssedPlugin pointer as parameter and all actions take place in the currently opened document.

Follow the links above for a complete description of each function, or view plugin.h for a complete listing.

Bellow each functions there's a link to a code sample.

User Interface Functions

Those functions are used to add interface elements to cssed, but cssed_plugin_unload_callback that's provided as a convenience callback to unload the plugin.
