## Example of RSS generation ## Extensions
Extensions can be written in any language you know (Bash, Python, Lua, JavaScript, Go, even Assembler). Here's an example of how to scan all markdown blog posts and create RSS items: Extensions are just executables in any language that output content. They can be system executables like `data` or custom extensions that you place in `.zs/`. To use an extensions simply reference it in your content like so:
```markdown
Site last updated at {{{ date }}
```
Or:
```markdown
Here's a list of support features:
{{ features }}
```
Where `features` is a script defined in `.zs/features`
Extensions can be written in any language you know (Bash, Python, Lua, JavaScript, Go, even Assembler).
Here are some example extensions you might find useful in your site.
### Extension: Include

```bash ```bash
#!/bin/sh
if [ ! $# = 1 ]; then
printf "Usage: %s <file>\n" "$(basename "$0")"
exit 0
fi
if [ -f "$1" ]; then
cat "$1"
else
echo "error: file not found $1"
fi
```
### Extension: RSS
`.zs/rss`:
```bash
#!/bin/sh

d=$($ZS var $f date) d="$("$ZS" var "$f" date)"

## Hooks ## Hooks
There are two special plugin names that are executed every time the build There are two special plugin names that are executed every time the build
happens - `prehook` and `posthook`. You can define some global actions here like happens:
content generation, or additional commands, like to minify CSS or Javascript files.
- `prehook` -- executed before the build
- `posthook` -- executed after the build
You can use these to customize the build before and after. For example you can use the `posthook` to minify CSS or Javascript files.
`.zs/posthook`:
```bash ```bash
