We used the fromJsonable function to fill the empty apool with values. the fromJsonable and toJsonable functions are used to serialize and deserialize an apool. You can see that it stores the relation between numbers and attributes. So for example the attribute 1 is the attribute bold and vise versa. A attribute is always a key value pair. For stuff like bold and italic its just 'italic':'true'. For authors its author:$AUTHORID. So a character can be bold and italic. But it can't belong to multiple authors

Now we come to realtime document editing. Suppose two different users make two different changes to the same document at the same time. It is impossible to compose these changes. For example, if we have the document $X$ of length $n$, we may have $A=(n\rightarrow n_a)[\ldots n_a \mathrm{characters}]$, $B=(n\rightarrow n_b)[\ldots n_b \mathrm{characters}]$ where $n\neq n_a\neq n_b$.
It is impossible to compute $(XA)B$ because $B$ can only be applied to a document of length $n$, and $(XA)$ has length $n_a$. Similarly, $A$ cannot be appliet to $(XB)$ because $(XB)$ has length $n_b$.

This is where \emph{merging} comes in. Merging takes two changesets that apply to the same initial document (and that cannot be composed), and computes a single new changeset that presevers the intent of both changes. The merge of $A$ and $B$ is written as $m(A,B)$. For the Etherpad system to work, we require that $m(A,B)=m(B,A)$.

# Plugins
Etherpad allows you to extend its functionality with plugins. A plugin registers hooks (functions) for certain events (thus certain features) in Etherpad-lite to execute its own functionality based on these events.
Publicly available plugins can be found in the npm registry (see <http://npmjs.org>). Etherpad-lite's naming convention for plugins is to prefix your plugins with `ep_`. So, e.g. it's `ep_flubberworms`. Thus you can install plugins from npm, using `npm install ep_flubberworm` in etherpad-lite's root directory.

You can also browse to `http://yourEtherpadInstan.ce/admin/plugins`, which will list all installed plugins and those available on npm. It even provides functionality to search through all available plugins.

If your plugin includes client-side hooks, put them in `static/js/`. If you're adding in CSS or image files, you should put those files in `static/css/ `and `static/image/`, respectively, and templates go into `templates/`. Translations go into `locales/`
A Standard directory structure like this makes it easier to navigate through your code. That said, do note, that this is not actually *required* to make your plugin run. If you want to make use of our i18n system, you need to put your translations into `locales/`, though, in order to have them intergated.

Also, note that dependencies should *also* be listed in your package.json, so they can be `npm install`'d automagically when your plugin gets installed.
## Package definition
Your plugin must also contain a [package definition file](http://npmjs.org/doc/json.html), called package.json, in the project root - this file contains various metadata relevant to your plugin, such as the name and version number, author, project hompage, contributors, a short description, etc. If you publish your plugin on npm, these metadata are used for package search etc., but it's necessary for Etherpad-lite plugins, even if you don't publish your plugin.
