Guidance for plugin development

[mattwhitfield]

Hello

I have written a plugin for v2 that allows TOCs to use glob matching patterns to include multiple files - so you can do stuff like this in TOC.yml

- name: Some specific file
  href: someSpecificFile.md
- name: All other files
  items:
  - name: Expand{Hierarchical}
    includedFrom: '**/*.md'

I have two questions -

1. Is there a good process for distribution for plugins?
2. The plugin is built against the 2.59 nuget packages currently - is there any information about how to go about porting it for v3? I have tried to find information on it but I don't see any v3 preview packages on nuget.org and I couldn't find anything about plugins that was specific to v3. Apologies if my google-fu is weak.

Plugins for DocFX v3 were discussed in https://github.com/dotnet/docfx/issues/5431.

Thanks... I guess if TOCs in v3 don't receive native support for glob patterns then it will be a case of a pre-processor for v3.
