+{*white}# Info hooks{reset}
+Autosort comes with a number of info hooks to add some extra functionality to regular weechat eval strings.
+Info hooks can be used in eval strings in the form of {cyan}${{info:some_hook,arguments}}{reset}.
+
+Commas and backslashes in arguments to autosort info hooks (except for {cyan}${{info:autosort_escape}}{reset}) must be escaped with a backslash.
+
+{*white}${{info:{brown}autosort_replace{white},{cyan}pattern{white},{cyan}replacement{white},{cyan}source{white}}}{reset}
+Replace all occurrences of {cyan}pattern{reset} with {cyan}replacement{reset} in the string {cyan}source{reset}.
+Can be used to ignore certain strings when sorting by replacing them with an empty string.
+
+For example: {cyan}${{info:autosort_replace,cat,dog,the dog is meowing}}{reset} expands to "the cat is meowing".
+
+{*white}${{info:{brown}autosort_order{white},{cyan}value{white},{cyan}option0{white},{cyan}option1{white},{cyan}option2{white},{cyan}...{white}}}
+Generate a zero-padded number that corresponds to the index of {cyan}value{reset} in the list of options.
+If one of the options is the special value {brown}*{reset}, then any value not explicitly mentioned will be sorted at that position.
+Otherwise, any value that does not match an option is assigned the highest number available.
+Can be used to easily sort buffers based on a manual sequence.
+
+For example: {cyan}${{info:autosort_order,${{server}},freenode,oftc,efnet}}{reset} will sort freenode before oftc, followed by efnet and then any remaining servers.
+Alternatively, {cyan}${{info:autosort_order,${{server}},freenode,oftc,*,efnet}}{reset} will sort any unlisted servers after freenode and oftc, but before efnet.
+
+{*white}${{info:{brown}autosort_escape{white},{cyan}text{white}}}{reset}
+Escape commas and backslashes in {cyan}text{reset} by prepending them with a backslash.
+This is mainly useful to pass arbitrary eval strings as arguments to other autosort info hooks.
+Otherwise, an eval string that expands to something with a comma would be interpreted as multiple arguments.
+
+For example, it can be used to safely pass buffer names to {cyan}${{info:autosort_replace}}{reset} like so:
+{cyan}${{info:autosort_replace,##,#,${{info:autosort_escape,${{buffer.name}}}}}}{reset}.

{*white}# Description
Autosort is a weechat script to automatically keep your buffers sorted. The sort
order can be customized by defining your own sort rules, but the default should
a helper variable named `{cyan}foo{reset}` can be accessed in a main rule with the
string `{cyan}${{foo}}{reset}`.
-{*white}# Replacing substrings{reset}
-There is no default method for replacing text inside eval expressions. However,
-autosort adds a `replace` info hook that can be used inside eval expressions:
- {cyan}${{info:autosort_replace,from,to,text}}{reset}
-
-For example, to strip all hashes from a buffer name, you could write:
- {cyan}${{info:autosort_replace,#,,${{buffer.name}}}}{reset}
-
-You can escape commas and backslashes inside the arguments by prefixing them with
-a backslash.
-
{*white}# Automatic or manual sorting{reset}
By default, autosort will automatically sort your buffer list whenever a buffer
is opened, merged, unmerged or renamed. This should keep your buffers sorted in
