Markus Heiser e9fff4fde6 doc: proofread of the all reST sources (no content change)
Normalize reST sources with best practice and KISS in mind.

to name a few points:

- simplify reST tables
- make use of ``literal`` markup for monospace rendering
- fix code-blocks for better rendering in HTML
- normalize section header markup
- limit all lines to a maximum of 79 characters
- add option -H to the sudo command used in code blocks
- drop useless indentation of lists

Plugins
=======
Plugins can extend or replace functionality of various components of searx.
Example plugin
==============
.. code:: python
name = 'Example plugin'
description = 'This plugin extends the suggestions with the word "example"'
default_on = False # disabled by default
js_dependencies = tuple() # optional, list of static js files
css_dependencies = tuple() # optional, list of static css files
# attach callback to the post search hook
# request: flask request object
# ctx: the whole local context of the post search hook
def post_search(request, ctx):
ctx['search'].suggestions.add('example')
return True
Plugin entry points
===================
Entry points (hooks) define when a plugin runs. Right now only three hooks are
implemented. So feel free to implement a hook if it fits the behaviour of your
plugin.
Pre search hook
---------------
Runs BEFORE the search request. Function to implement: ``pre_search``
Post search hook
----------------
Runs AFTER the search request. Function to implement: ``post_search``
Result hook
-----------
Runs when a new result is added to the result list. Function to implement:
``on_result``
