Moodle plugins directory: Plugin type: Other tools | Moodle.org
Other tools 
This category lists code that does not conform to any standard plugin type. It is also for plugins which do not yet meet all the different standards. The code here requires special attention during the installation, and sometimes even needs hacks to core.
Plugins in this category are excluded from automatic updates. The code here is more likely to break when you upgrade Moodle and we generally do not recommend installing it unless you have Moodle developers on hand to help maintain it.
USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! You have been warned.

format_page
the "page format" is a very flexible course format allowing building a hierarchical course with nested pages organisation and a totally floxeible way of compositing the course with blocs and activities placed anywhere in the three-or-less-columns layout.
Additionnally it proposes a new richer way to integrate activities in course, with "alternate views" that changes the historical [ "icon" + Link ] display. Some standard activities will have some alternate available views, and we still receive suggestions about how could some activites have an "enriched" display in the course pages.
The page format is now maintained by ActiveProLearn (France)
