# Hooks
Hooks is a method of augmenting or altering the behavior of the process, with custom callbacks.
### List of hooks
### Relative to the global pipeline
| Name | Description | Arguments |
| ---- | ----------- | --------- |
| `init` | Called after parsing the book, before generating output and pages. | None |
| `finish:before` | Called after generating the pages, before copying assets, cover, ... | None |
| `finish` | Called after everything else. | None |
### Relative to the page pipeline
> It is recommended using [templating](./templating.md) to extend page parsing.
| Name | Description | Arguments |
| ---- | ----------- | --------- |
| `page:before` | Called before running the templating engine on the page | Page Object |
| `page` | Called before outputting and indexing the page. | Page Object |
##### Page Object
```js
{
// Parser named
"type": "markdown",
// File Path relative to book root
"path": "page.md",
// Absolute file path
"rawpath": "/usr/...",
// Title of the page in the SUMMARY
"title": "",
// Content of the page
// Markdown/Asciidoc in "page:before"
// HTML in "page"
"content": "# Hello"
}
```
##### Example to add a title
In the `page:before` hook, `page.content` is the markdown/asciidoc content.
```js
{
"page:before": function(page) {
page.content = "# Title\n" +page.content;
return page;
}
}
```
##### Example to replace some html
In the `page` hook, `page.content` is the HTML generated from the markdown/asciidoc conversion.
```js
{
"page": function(page) {
page.content = page.content.replace("<b>", "<strong>")
.replace("</b>", "</strong>");
return page;
}
}
```
### Asynchronous Operations
Hooks callbacks can be asynchronous and return promises.
Example:
```js
{
"init": function() {
return writeSomeFile()
.then(function() {
return writeAnotherFile();
});
}
}
```
