Bots are essentially code snippets which when called via various parameters either activate a program, script or perform a specific function. They can be as simple as a function which replaces typed text with code (such as typing to display an image in a content item) to full fledged third party libraries (such as WYSIWYG editors or other programs).

{mosimage}, {mospagebreak}, {mosflv}, are typical examples of bots.

Each bot has its own set of configuration parameters.
