                The emoticons plugin expands emoticon references such as :) or ;) to images like
                <img alt="happy" src="images/emoticons/happy.gif"/> and
                <img alt="wink" src="images/emoticons/wink.gif"/>.
            </p>

                <p>
                    In your global
                    <code>plugin.properties</code> file, add the following line:
                </p>
                <source>
                    emoticons=org.blojsom.plugin.emoticons.EmoticonsPlugin
                </source>
                <p>You may then add "emoticons" to one of the flavor-based plugin chains.
                These plugin chains can be found in the individual user's
                <code>plugin.properties</code> file. For example:
                </p>
                <source>
                    html.blojsom-plugin-chain=emoticons
                </source>
                <p>
                    The emoticons plugin has its own configuration file,
                    <em>emoticons.properties</em>, that is referenced in
                    <em>web.xml</em>.
                </p>
                <source>
                    &lt;init-param&gt;
                    &lt;param-name&gt;plugin-emoticons&lt;/param-name&gt;
                    &lt;param-value&gt;emoticons.properties&lt;/param-value&gt;
                    &lt;/init-param&gt;
                </source>
                <p>

                    The
                    <em>emoticons.properties</em> file will be located in the respective
                    <code>/WEB-INF/(user-id)</code> directory and contains
                    <em>key=value</em> pairs like the following:
                </p>
                <source>
