===== Collections-Specific Plugins =====

Some notes on adding collection-specific plugins and
macros.

**Plugins** go into **''<nowiki>collect/colname/perllib/plugins</nowiki>''**

**Macros** go into **''<nowiki>collect/colname/macros</nowiki>''**

  * It's best to put modified plugins into **''<nowiki>collect/colname/perllib/plugins</nowiki>''** , so any other collections can still use the standard ones.
  * A collection specific plugin has to have the same name as an existing plugin if you are over-riding the system-wide version of the plugin.
  * The collection-specific one is used instead the system-wide one.
  * The 'collection specific' plugin appears in the gli when you have that collection loaded.

Collection specific macro files go into **''<nowiki>collect/colname/macros</nowiki>''**, and are used instead of the system ones.
