Valentin Lorentz 833af36b08 all plugins: auto-generate READMEs
Starting with this commit, there should be no "original" text
in READMEs.
Instead, the entire text should be in docstrings, and READMEs
should be automatically generated from these docstrings.

Motivation:

* The same help is available both via IRC and in the README
  (although the README can be more detailed, as only the first
  paragraph will be shown on IRC)
* This will allow auto-generating plugin help on docs.limnoria.net
  using the same content as the README, as it's sourced from the
  docstrings

Additionally, this converts all READMEs from Markdown to ReST,
because the documentation already uses ReST, and other docstrings
in the codebase are in ReST for this reason.

.. _plugin-Karma:

Documentation for the Karma plugin for Supybot
==============================================

Purpose
-------
Plugin for keeping track of Karma for users and things in a channel.

Usage
-----
Provides a simple tracker for setting Karma (thing++, thing--).
If ``config plugins.karma.allowUnaddressedKarma`` is set to ``True``
(default since 2014.05.07), saying `boats++` will give 1 karma
to ``boats``, and ``ships--`` will subtract 1 karma from ``ships``.

However, if you use this in a sentence, like
``That deserves a ++. Kevin++``, 1 karma will be added to
``That deserves a ++. Kevin``, so you should only add or subtract karma
in a line that doesn't have anything else in it.
Alternatively, you can restrict karma tracking to nicks in the current
channel by setting `config plugins.Karma.onlyNicks` to ``True``.

If ``config plugins.karma.allowUnaddressedKarma` is set to `False``,
you must address the bot with nick or prefix to add or subtract karma.

Commands
--------
clear [<channel>] [<name>]
  Resets the karma of <name> to 0. If <name> is not given, resets everything.

dump [<channel>] <filename>
  Dumps the Karma database for <channel> to <filename> in the bot's data directory. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.

karma [<channel>] [<thing> ...]
  Returns the karma of <thing>. If <thing> is not given, returns the top N karmas, where N is determined by the config variable supybot.plugins.Karma.rankingDisplay. If one <thing> is given, returns the details of its karma; if more than one <thing> is given, returns the total karma of each of the things. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent on the channel itself.

load [<channel>] <filename>
  Loads the Karma database for <channel> from <filename> in the bot's data directory. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.

most [<channel>] {increased,decreased,active}
  Returns the most increased, the most decreased, or the most active (the sum of increased and decreased) karma things. <channel> is only necessary if the message isn't sent in the channel itself.
