+Registering hooks
+-----------------
+
+As an alternative to overriding one of the hook methods, you can register any number of functions
+to be called when the hook is processed. These registered functions are called before any overridden
+method.
+
+This method of registering and calling multiple hooks allows plugins to tap into the hook mechanism
+without interfering with each other or with your code.
