-## A small example what's possible
+## Plugins
+
+webpack has a rich plugin interface. Most of the features are internal plugins using this interface. This makes webpack very **flexible**.
+
+## Performance
+
+webpack uses async I/O and has multiple caching levels. This makes webpack fast and incredible **fast** on incremental compilation.
+
+## Loaders
+
+webpack allows to use loaders to preprocess files. This allows you to bundle **any static resource** not only javascript. You can easily write your own loaders running in node.js.
+
+## Support
+
+webpack supports **AMD and CommonJs** module styles. It perform clever static analysis on the AST of your code. It even has a evaluation engine to evaluate simple expressions. This allows you to **support most existing libraries**.
+
+## Code Splitting
+
+webpack allows to split your codebase into chunks. Chunks are loaded **on demand**. This reduces initial loading time.
+
+## Optimizations
+
+webpack can do many optimizations to **reduce the output size**. It also cares about **caching** by using hashes.
+

 var commonjs = require("./commonjs");
