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 Herald plugin for Supybot

Purpose

Greets users who join the channel with a recognized hostmask with a nice little greeting.

Usage

This plugin allows you to set welcome messages (heralds) to people who are recognized by the bot when they join a channel.

change [<channel>] [<userhostmask> is currently identified or recognized as, according to <regexp>. If <user> is not given, defaults to the calling user. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.

default [<channel>] [--remove|<msg>]

If <msg> is given, sets the default herald to <msg>. A <msg> of "" will remove the default herald. If <msg> is not given, returns the current default herald. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.
