 Someone was just asking for it and I had written these two plugins already some months ago,
 so I'm now publishing them here.

-/!\ Note that there is still an issue to be resolved with these plugins: have a look at
-[tmpfs](http://www.bddebian.com/~wiki/hurd/translator/tmpfs/).  There are two inlined pages,
-[tmpfs-notes\_bing](http://www.bddebian.com/~wiki/hurd/translator/tmpfs/notes_bing/) and
-[tmpfs-notes\_various](http://www.bddebian.com/~wiki/hurd/translator/tmpfs/notes_various/).
-Compare the *copyright* and *license* information of the inlined pages on *tmpfs* to those
-on the source pages, *tmpfs-notes_bing* and *tmpfs-notes_various*.
-They are different, but shouldn't be.
+Usage instructions are found inside the two plugin files.
