Valentin Lorentz 833af36b08 all plugins: auto-generate READMEs
Starting with this commit, there should be no "original" text
in READMEs.
Instead, the entire text should be in docstrings, and READMEs
should be automatically generated from these docstrings.

Motivation:

* The same help is available both via IRC and in the README
  (although the README can be more detailed, as only the first
  paragraph will be shown on IRC)
* This will allow auto-generating plugin help on docs.limnoria.net
  using the same content as the README, as it's sourced from the
  docstrings

Additionally, this converts all READMEs from Markdown to ReST,
because the documentation already uses ReST, and other docstrings
in the codebase are in ReST for this reason.

Documentation for the Dunno plugin for Supybot

Purpose

The Dunno module is used to spice up the reply when given an invalid command with random 'I dunno'-like responses. If you want something spicier than '<x> is not a valid command'-like responses, use this plugin. Like Success does for the 'The operation succeeded.' reply.

Usage

This plugin was written initially to work with MoobotFactoids, the two of them to provide a similar-to-moobot-and-blootbot interface for factoids. Basically, it replaces the standard 'Error: <x> is not a valid command.' messages with messages kept in a database, able to give more personable responses.

Commands

add [<channel>] <text>

Adds <text> to the dunno database for <channel>. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.

change [<channel>] <id> <regexp>

Changes the dunno with id <id> according to the regular expression <regexp>. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.

get [<channel>] <id>

Gets the dunno with id <id> from the dunno database for <channel>. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.

remove [<channel>] <id>

Removes the dunno with id <id> from the dunno database for <channel>. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.

search [<channel>] [--{regexp,by} <value>] [<glob>]

Searches for dunnos matching the criteria given.

stats [<channel>]

Returns the number of dunnos in the database for <channel>. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.

Configuration

supybot.plugins.Dunno.prefixNick

This config variable defaults to "True", is network-specific, and is channel-specific.

Determines whether the bot will prefix the nick of the user giving an invalid command to the "dunno" response.

supybot.plugins.Dunno.public

This config variable defaults to "True", is not network-specific, and is not channel-specific.

Determines whether this plugin is publicly visible.
