   I am somewhat new to the plugin scene and I hit a brick wall in my learning curve.

   I have been trying to modify a plugin to work for my client's specific requirements. So I came across these action hooks (I believe that's what they are called):

   new_to_publish
   draft_to_publish
   pending_to_publish
   etc... etc...

   All my attempts to find out more about them failed. I have been looking everywhere on this site, even googled them and scanned the WordPress code etc. all to no avail.

   In forums everybody seems to know about them, except I can't find any documentation about any of them, anywhere. The only thing I found is developers talking about them as if it was common knowledge. huh?

   Where does this information come from in the first place? What am I missing here?

   Any help would be highly appreciated.

   Alright, I think I found an answer, kind of....
   codex.wordpress.org/Post_Status_Transitions holds the "secret" answer. These action hooks are kind of generic, that's why there is no explicit documentation and/or source code reference to be found for each individual one. Tricky!

   I don't like holding monologues, so any further comments are welcome. :)
