@ -25,41 +25,6 @@ Here is a patch:
> I would like to suggest another tack, namely a bigger, better special case.
> The basic idea is that all indices of the form foo/bar/index get the wiki path foo/bar.
> This makes some things more elegant:
>
> * All files having to do with foo/bar are in the foo/bar directory, rather
> than the (admittedly minor) wart of having the index be in foo/.
> * This sort of addresses [[bugs/broken_parentlinks]] in that example/ is
> guaranteed to be a valid path. (There might be no index there, though.)
> * This is more in line with standard HTML practice, as far as I understand it,
> namely that linking to a/b means a/b/index.html rather than a/b.html.

> This would change the inline plugin in strange ways -- I think if foo/index.html
> contains \[[inline "* and !*/Discussion"]], it should skip inlining foo/index.html
> explicitly, but would inline index pages in child directories
> foo/bar/baz/index.html as bar/baz.

> It always bothers me that foo/bar/ files need a foo/bar.html in front of them,
