Run `node plugin/notes-server` +## Plugins + +Plugins should be registered with reveal.js by calling `Reveal.registerPlugin( 'myPluginID', MyPlugin )`. Registered plugin instances should expose an "init" function that reveal.js can call to initialize them. + +When reveal.js is booted up via `Reveal.initialize()`, it will go through all registered plugins and invoke their "init" methods. If the "init" method returns a Promise, reveal.js will wait for that promise to be fullfilled before finshing the startup sequence and firing the [ready](#ready-event) event.

If you want to retrieve a plugin instance you can use `Reveal.getPlugin( 'myPlugin' )`. + + ## Multiplexing The multiplex plugin allows your audience to view the slides of the presentation you are controlling on their own phone, tablet or laptop. As the master presentation navigates the slides, all client presentations will update in real time.
