+Crypter - Extract links from pages
+==================================
+
+We are starting with the simplest plugin, the :class:`Crypter <pyload.plugins.Crypter.Crypter>`.
+It's job is to take an url as input and generate a new package or links, for example by filtering the urls or
+loading a page and extracting links from the html code. You need to define the ``__pattern__`` to match
+target urls and subclass from :class:`Crypter <pyload.plugins.Crypter.Crypter>`. ::
+
+ from pyload.plugin.Crypter import Crypter
+
+ class MyFileCrypter(Crypter):
+ __pattern__ = r"mycrypter.com/id/([0-9]+)"
+
+ def decryptURL(self, url):
+
+ urls = ["http://get.pyload.org/src", "http://get.pyload.org/debian", "http://get.pyload.org/win"]
+ return urls
+
+You have to overwrite at least one of ``.decryptFile``, ``.decryptURL``, ``.decryptURLs``. The first one
+is only useful for container files, whereas the last is useful when it's possible to handle a bunch of urls
+at once. If in doubt, just overwrite `decryptURL`.
+
+Generating Packages
+-------------------
+
+When finished with decrypting just return the urls as list and they will be added to the package. You can also
+create new Packages if needed by instantiating a :class:`Package` instance, which will look like the following::
+
+ from pyload.plugin.Crypter import Crypter, Package
+
+ class MyFileCrypter(Crypter):
+
+ def decryptURL(self, url):
+
+ html = self.load(url)
+
+ # .decrypt_from_content is only an example method here and will return a list of urls
+ urls = self.decrypt_from_content(html)
+ return Package("my new package", urls)
+
+And that's basically all you need to know. Just as a little side-note if you want to use decrypter in
+your code you can use::
+
+ plugin = self.core.pluginManager.loadClass("crypter", "NameOfThePlugin")
+ # Core instance is needed for decrypting
+ # decrypted will be a list of urls
+ decrypted = plugin.decrypt(core, urls)
+
+
+SimpleCrypter
+-------------
+
+For simple crypter services there is the :class:`SimpleCrypter <pyload.plugins.internal.SimpleCrypter.SimpleCrypter>` class which handles most of the workflow. Only the regexp
+pattern has to be defined.
+
+Exmaple::
+
+ from pyload.plugins.internal.SimpleCrypter import SimpleCrypter
+
+ class MyFileCrypter(SimpleCrypter):

+Testing
+-------
+
+Please append a test link at :file:`tests/crypterlinks.txt` followed by `||xy`, where xy is the number of
+expected links/packages to extract.
