+## Writing plugins ##
 
 All you need to do to make a new plugin is creating an init function
 and a set of options (if needed), stuffing it into an object and
 putting it in the $.plot.plugins array. For example:
 
-    function myCoolPluginInit(plot) {
-      plot.coolstring = "Hello!";
-    };
+```js
+function myCoolPluginInit(plot) {
+    plot.coolstring = "Hello!";
+};
 
-    $.plot.plugins.push({ init: myCoolPluginInit, options: { ... } });
+$.plot.plugins.push({ init: myCoolPluginInit, options: { ... } });
 
-    // if $.plot is called, it will return a plot object with the
-    // attribute "coolstring"
+// if $.plot is called, it will return a plot object with the
+// attribute "coolstring"
+```

 a good idea to avoid leaking names. The usual trick here is wrap the

 Here is a simple debug plugin which alerts each of the series in the

 how much info to output:
