When a page is displayed, the extensions are loaded and onLoad will be called. As soon as all extensions are loaded onStartup will be called. After that the core informs with onRequest that there's a request. The page can be analysed with various onParse events. Then the page content will be generated. If an error occurs, an error page will be generated. Finally the page is output and onShutdown will be called.

When a page is edited, the extensions are loaded and onLoad will be called. As soon as all extensions are loaded onStartup will be called. After that the core informs with onRequest that there's a request, which will be handled by the edit extension. Changes at the page can be analysed with various onEdit events. Then the page will be saved in the file system. Finally a status code is output to reload the page and onShutdown will be called.

When a command is executed, the extensions are loaded and onLoad will be called. As soon as all extensions are loaded onStartup will be called. After that the core informs with onCommand that there's a command, which will be handled by the corresponding extension. If no command has been entered at the command line, then onCommandHelp will be called and extensions can provide a help. Finally a return code is output and onShutdown will be called.
