-I was surprised that no plugin seems to be available to render plaintext pages;

-## Problems
-
-Wikilinks are expanded as usual, and as such produce `<a href=...>text</a>`
-tags, which are displayed as plain text. Is there a way to disable the preprocessor
-for some types of pages?

+[[tag type/format]]
+
+This plugin makes ikiwiki treat files with names ending in ".txt"
+as wiki pages.
+
+Unlike other [[type/format]] plugins, no formatting of markup in 
+txt files is done; the file contents is displayed to the user as-is,
+with html markup characters such as ">" escaped.
+
+The only exceptions are that [[WikiLinks|WikiLink]] and
+[[PreprocessorDirectives|PreprocessorDirective]] are still expanded by
+ikiwiki, and that, if the [[cpan URI::Find]] perl module is installed, URLs
+in the txt file are converted to hyperlinks.
