-<h2><a name="introduction" />Introduction</h2>
-<p>This is the new Perl interface for X-Chat 2.  However, due to changes in
-xchat's plugin code you will need xchat 2.0.8 or above to load this.  Scripts
-written using the old interface will continue to work. If there are any
-problems, questions, comments or suggestions please email them to the address
-on the bottom of this page.</p>

-<p>These functions can be to intercept various events.
-hook_server can be used to intercept any incoming message from the IRC server.
-hook_command can be used to intercept any command, if the command doesn't currently exist then a new one is created.
-hook_print can be used to intercept any of the events listed in Setttings-&gt;Advanced-&gt;Text Events
-hook_timer can be used to create a new timer</p>
-<ul>
-<li><strong><code>$message</code>       -  server message to hook such as PRIVMSG</strong>

-</li>
-<li><strong><code>$timeout</code>       -  timeout in milliseconds</strong>
-</li>
-<li><strong><code>$handle</code>     - the I/O handle you want to monitor with hook_fd. This must be something that has a fileno. See perldoc -f fileno or <a href="http://perldoc.perl.org/functions/fileno.html">fileno</a></strong>
-</li>
-<li><strong><code>$callback</code>   -  callback function, this is called whenever
-                  the hooked event is trigged, the following are
-                  the conditions that will trigger the different hooks.
-                  This can be either a reference to a
-                  function or an anonymous sub reference.</strong>
-</li>

-<h3><a name="xchat_user_info" /><code>Xchat::user_info( [$nick] )</code></h3>
-<ul>
-<li><strong><code>$nick</code> -  the nick to look for, if this is not given your own nick will be
-            used as default</strong>
-</li>
-</ul>
-<p>This function is mainly intended to be used as a shortcut for when you need
-to retrieve some information about only one user in a channel. Otherwise it
-is better to use <a href="#xchat_get_list">get_list</a>.
-If <code>$nick</code> is found a hash reference containing the same keys as those in the
-&quot;users&quot; list of <a href="#xchat_get_list">get_list</a> is returned otherwise undef is returned.
-Since it relies on <a href="#xchat_get_list">get_list</a> this function can only be used in a
-channel context.</p>
-<p>
-</p>
-<h3><a name="xchat_context_info" /><code>Xchat::context_info( [$context] )</code></h3>
-<ul>
-<li><strong><code>$context</code> -  context returned from <a href="#xchat_get_context">get_context</a>, <a href="#xchat_find_context">find_context</a> and <a href="#xchat_get_list">get_list</a>, this is the context that you want infomation about. If this is omitted, it will default to current context.</strong>
-</li>
-</ul>
-<p>This function will return the information normally retrieved with <a href="#xchat_get_info">get_info</a>, except this is for the context that is passed in. The information will be returned in the form of a hash. The keys of the hash are the <code>$id</code> you would normally supply to <a href="#xchat_get_info">get_info</a> as well as all the keys that are valid for the items in the &quot;channels&quot; list from <a href="#xchat_get_list">get_list</a>. Use of this function is more efficient than calling get_list( &quot;channels&quot; ) and searching through the result.</p>
