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 Relay plugin for Supybot

Purpose

Handles relaying between networks.

Usage

This plugin allows you to setup a relay between networks.

Note that you must tell the bot to join the channel you wish to relay on all networks with the join command or network command <network> join <channel> or to join the channel on all networks network cmdall join <channel>.

There are several advanced alternatives to this plugin, available as third-party plugins. You can check them out at https://limnoria.net/plugins.xhtml#messaging

Commands

join [<channel>]

Starts relaying between the channel <channel> on all networks. If on a network the bot isn't in <channel>, it'll join. This commands is required even if the bot is in the channel on both networks; it won't relay between those channels unless it's told to join both channels. If <channel> is not given, starts relaying on the channel the message was sent in.

nicks [<channel>]

Returns the nicks of the people in the channel on the various networks the bot is connected to. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent on the channel itself.

part <channel>

Ceases relaying between the channel <channel> on all networks. The bot will part from the channel on all networks in which it is on the channel.

Configuration

supybot.plugins.Relay.channels

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

Determines which channels the bot will relay in.

supybot.plugins.Relay.channels.joinOnAllNetworks

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

Determines whether the bot will always join the channel(s) it relays when connecting to any network.

supybot.plugins.Relay.color

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

Determines whether the bot will color relayed PRIVMSGs so as to make the messages easier to read.

supybot.plugins.Relay.hostmasks

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

Determines whether the bot will relay the hostmask of the person joining or parting the channel when they join or part.

supybot.plugins.Relay.ignores

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

Determines what hostmasks will not be relayed on a channel.

supybot.plugins.Relay.includeNetwork

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

Determines whether the bot will include the network in relayed PRIVMSGs; if you're only relaying between two networks, it's somewhat redundant, and you may wish to save the space.

supybot.plugins.Relay.noticeNonPrivmsgs

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

Determines whether the bot will used NOTICEs rather than PRIVMSGs for non-PRIVMSG relay messages (i.e., joins, parts, nicks, quits, modes, etc.)

supybot.plugins.Relay.public

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

Determines whether this plugin is publicly visible.

supybot.plugins.Relay.punishOtherRelayBots

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

Determines whether the bot will detect other bots relaying and respond by kickbanning them.

supybot.plugins.Relay.topicSync

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

Determines whether the bot will synchronize topics between networks in the channels it relays.
