+    <desc>How to install third-party plugins.</desc>
+  </info>
+
+  <title>Additional gedit plugins</title>
+
+  <p>Installing third-party plugins gives you extra functionality that isn't 
+  available in default <app>gedit</app> plugins, or even the extra plugins that 
+  are part of the <app>gedit-plugins</app> package. An online list of 
+  third-party plugins is 
+  <link href="https://wiki.gnome.org/Apps/Gedit">kept here</link>.
+  </p>
+  
+  <p>Installing a third-party plugin involves downloading the plugin, placing 
+  the plugin files in the right directory, and activating the plugin.</p>
+  
+  <steps>
+    <item><p>You can usually download a plugin from the plugin's website, but 
+    may need to use a revision-control program like <app>git</app>, <app>
+    bazaar</app>, or <app>subversion</app> to copy a plugin's software 
+    repository from the internet. Refer to the plugin's documentation for 
+    information on getting the plugin.</p></item>
+    <item><p>Place the plugin files into the 
+    <file>/home/<var>username</var>/.local/share/gedit/plugins</file> directory.
+    </p>
+    <p>Of course, replace the word <var>username</var> with your own username.
+    </p></item>
+    <item><p>After you have placed the plugin files into the correct directory, 
+    the plugin will appear in the Preferences menu. Press the menu button in the
+    top-right corner of the window and select <guiseq><gui style="menuitem">
+    Preferences</gui><gui style="tab">Plugins</gui><gui>[Name of Plugin]</gui>
+    </guiseq> to enable the plugin.</p></item>
+    <item><p>Click <gui>Close</gui>.</p></item>
+  </steps>
+  
+  <p>After you have enabled the plugin, it should be available for you to use.
+  </p>
+  
+  <note style="tip">
+    <p>The <file>.local</file> directory is hidden by default. To view it and 
+    other hidden files, select <guiseq><gui>View</gui><gui>Show Hidden 
+    Files</gui></guiseq>, or press <keyseq><key>Ctrl</key><key>H</key></keyseq>.
+    </p>
+  </note>
+
+  <note style="tip">
+    <p>If the directory <file>.local/share/gedit/plugins/</file> is not 
+    present on your system, you will need to create it.</p>
