3. [How to Develop Plugins:](/plugins/how-to-develop-plugins.md) If you are a developer and want to go the extra mile, this section will guide you through the steps needed to develop a FormIt Plugin.
4. [FormIt APIs](/plugins/useful-links.md): Links to FormIt's API documentation.
5. [Examples:](/plugins/example-1.md) If you want to try out existing plugins, this section contains descriptions of some of the available plugins.
