Steemd plugin documentation

TimCliff commented 6 years ago

In issue https://github.com/steemit/devportal/issues/269, documentation was created for steemd plugins. The page with the info is here: https://developers.steem.io/tutorials-recipes/plugin_and_api_list

A few items of feedback:

I cannot find a link to the plugin list in the menu
The plugins that are listed on the page do not use the same names as what is needed in the config.ini file when enabling the plugin
The dependencies are not clearly documented. For example, if I want to run account_history_api, I need to have either account_history or account_history_rocksdb enabled for it to work.

Suggested changes:

[ ] Add a link to the plugins in the menu
[ ] Clearly define what plugin name needs to be enabled within the config.ini file in order for the plugin to be turned on
[ ] Review all dependencies and ensure they are documented appropriately

I think someone misunderstood the requirements. The plugin-to-repo dependencies are listed when the original requirements for #269 wanted plugin-to-plugin dependencies.

This is how I'd go about it:
