+><P
+>&#13; Template hooks are a way for extensions to Bugzilla to insert code
+ into the standard Bugzilla templates without modifying the template files
+ themselves. The hooks mechanism defines a consistent API for extending
+ the standard templates in a way that cleanly separates standard code
+ from extension code. Hooks reduce merge conflicts and make it easier
+ to write extensions that work across multiple versions of Bugzilla,
+ making upgrading a Bugzilla installation with installed extensions easier.
+ </P
+><P
+>&#13; A template hook is just a named place in a standard template file
+ where extension template files for that hook get processed. Each hook
+ has a corresponding directory in the Bugzilla directory tree. Hooking an
+ extension template to a hook is as simple as putting the extension file
+ into the hook's directory. When Bugzilla processes the standard template
+ and reaches the hook, it will process all extension templates in the
+ hook's directory. The hooks themselves can be added into any standard
+ template upon request by extension authors.
+ </P
+><P
+>&#13; To use hooks to extend a Bugzilla template, first make sure there is
+ a hook at the appropriate place within the template you want to extend.
+ Hooks appear in the standard Bugzilla templates as a single directive
+ in the format
+ <TT
+CLASS="literal"
+>[% Hook.process("<TT
+CLASS="varname"
+>name</TT
+>") %]</TT
+>,
+ where <TT
+CLASS="varname"
+>name</TT
+> is the unique (within that template)
+ name of the hook.
+ </P
+><P
+>&#13; If you aren't sure which template you want to extend or just want
+ to browse the available hooks, either use your favorite multi-file search
+ tool (e.g. <B
+CLASS="command"
+>grep</B
+>) to search the standard templates
+ for occurrences of <TT
+CLASS="methodname"
+>Hook.process</TT
+> or browse
+ the directory tree in
+ <TT
+CLASS="filename"
+>BUGZILLA_ROOT/template/en/extension/hook/</TT
+>,
+ which contains a directory for each hook in the following location:
+ </P
+><P

+ <TT

+>BUGZILLA_ROOT/template/en/extension/hook/</TT

+ </P
+><P
+>&#13; You may optionally attach a patch to the bug which implements the hook
+ and check it in yourself after receiving approval from a Bugzilla
+ reviewer. The developers may suggest changes to the location of the
+ hook based on their analysis of your needs or so the hook can satisfy
+ the needs of multiple extensions, but the process of getting hooks
+ approved and checked in is not as stringent as the process for general
+ changes to Bugzilla, and any extension, whether released or still in
+ development, can have hooks added to meet their needs.
+ </P
+><P
+>&#13; After making sure the hook you need exists (or getting it added if not),
+ add your extension template to the directory within the Bugzilla
+ directory tree corresponding to the hook.
+ </P
+><P
+>&#13; That's it! Now, when the standard template containing the hook
+ is processed, your extension template will be processed at the point
+ where the hook appears.

+ </P

+><P
+>&#13; Installation customizers can also take advantage of hooks when adding

+>
+ equivalent to the directories in
+ <TT
+CLASS="filename"
+>BUGZILLA_ROOT/template/en/extension/hook/</TT
+>
+ for the hooks you want to use, then place your customization templates
+ into those directories.
+ </P
+><P
+>&#13; Obviously this method of customizing Bugzilla only lets you add code
+ to the standard templates; you cannot change the existing code.
+ Nevertheless, for those customizations that only add code, this method
+ can reduce conflicts when merging changes, making upgrading

+>Don't attach simple test cases (e.g. one HTML file, one
+ CSS file and an image) as a ZIP file. Instead, upload them in
