The theme comes with built-in plugins that extend its numerous functionalities.
You can configure these internal plugins through the `plugins` option.

## Configuration

All plugins used internally by the theme are configured within the `plugins` field.

``` js title=".vuepress/config.ts" twoslash
import { defineUserConfig } from 'vuepress'
import { plumeTheme } from 'vuepress-theme-plume'

export default defineUserConfig({
  theme: plumeTheme({
    plugins: {
      // more options...  // [!code ++]
    }
  }),
})
```

:::tip
You don't need to install these built-in plugins separately, nor should you add them to [vuepress config > plugins](https://v2.vuepress.vuejs.org/zh/reference/config.html#plugins).
The theme has already handled their integration internally.
