+plugin
+------
+
+.. versionadded:: 2.8
+
+Plugins are a way to load OCaml libraries at runtime. The ``plugin`` stanza
+allows you to declare the plugin's name, which :ref:`sites<sites>` should be
+present and which libraries it will load.
+
+.. code:: dune
+
+   (plugin
+    (name <name>)
+    (libraries <libraries>)
+    (site (<package> <site name>))
+    (<optional-fields>))
+
+``<optional-fields>`` are:
+
+- ``(package <package>)`` if there is more than one package defined in the
+  current scope, this specifies which package the plugin will install. A plugin
+  can be installed by one package in the site of another package.
+
+- ``(optional)`` will not declare the plugin if the libraries are not available.
+
+The loading of the plugin is done using the facilities generated by
+:doc:`generate_sites_module`.
