+
+##  Name: dns_pleskxml.sh
+##  Created by Stilez.
+##  Also uses some code from PR#1832 by @romanlum (https://github.com/Neilpang/acme.sh/pull/1832/files)
+
+##  This DNS01 method uses the Plesk XML API described at:
+##  https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/12.5/api-rpc/about-xml-api.28709
+##  and more specifically: https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/12.5/api-rpc/reference.28784
+
+##  Note: a DNS ID with host = empty string is OK for this API, see
+##  https://docs.plesk.com/en-US/obsidian/api-rpc/about-xml-api/reference/managing-dns/managing-dns-records/adding-dns-record.34798
+##  For example, to add a TXT record to DNS alias domain "acme-alias.com" would be a valid Plesk action.
+##  So this API module can handle such a request, if needed.
+
+##  The plesk plugin uses the xml api to add and remvoe the dns records. Therefore the url, username
+##  and password have to be configured by the user before this module is called.
+##
+##  ```
+##  export pleskxml_uri="https://YOUR_PLESK_URI_HERE:8443/enterprise/control/agent.php"
+##          (or probably something similar)
+##  export pleskxml_user="plesk username"
+##  export pleskxml_pass="plesk password"
+##  ```
+
+##  Ok, let's issue a cert now:
+##  ```
+##  acme.sh --issue --dns dns_pleskxml -d example.com -d www.example.com
+##  ```
+##
+##  The `pleskxml_uri`, `pleskxml_user` and `pleskxml_pass` will be saved in `~/.acme.sh/account.conf` and reused when needed.
