for some handy stuff like:
- Using links as a kind of tag; creating blog pages that list all pages
containing a given tag/link or not containing some other tag.
- Subscribing to mail notifications whenever a change is made to a page
that is a backlink of page foo. Ie, "Please notify me of changes in all
pages that link to my home page in the wiki"
- Locking any pages that are linked to from a particular page, so that
lists of locks can be exposed in the wiki.
* When inlining a page in another one, links from the inlined page are now
expanded the same as they are when rendering the inlined page as a
standalone page. So rather than being expanded from the POV of the
inlining page, they are expanded from the POV of the inlined page.
For example, a link from blog/foo to "bar" will now link to blog/bar
if it exists. Previously this needed to be a link explicitly to
"blog/bar"; such links will also continue to work.
(This was slightly complex to do as the link still has to be constructed
relative to the inlining page.)
* Add a html validity check to the test suite, using the wdg-html-validator,
if available.
* Make the html valid when there is nothing in the actions list by adding an
empty <li> to the end of it.
* Reordered some function call parameters for consistency.
<span>, so pages can use <h1> internally instead of needing to use <h2>.
* Updated all of ikiwiki's own wiki pages for that.
* Add pagetemplate hook, which can be used by plugins that want to mess
around with adding new stuff to the page template.
* Remove headercontent; the search plugin now adds the search box to the
header by registering a pagetemplate hook, and other plugins should do
similarly.
for other types of search engine plugins if wanted, and also opening up a
lot of new possibilities for other kinds of plugins later
some notable changes along the way:
- lots of new hook types: cgi, render, delete
- wrapper files fixed to support config strings with newlines in them
- HEADERCONTENT in page template useful for plugins. Probably needs to be
expanded to more such for other places plugins might want to add content.
- remove unnecessary wrappers field from config info stored in wrappers
to pave the way for adding other RCS support. This also changes the
setup files, where before they had svn => 1 or svn => 0, now they have
rcs => "svn" or rcs => "".
* Add a debian/NEWS file with upgrade notes.
* Load whatever rcs module is specified, so new ones can be just dropped in
as plugins and work.
* Add some basic docs about writing RCS modules.
* Added a pagecount plugin, enabled by default.
* Support PreProcessorDirectives with no parameters, ie "[[pagecount ]]".
* Fixed/optimised backlinks code, to avoid rebuilding pages to update
backlinks when the backlinks hadn't really changed.
* Moved inline page support, rss generation etc into the inline plugin,
enabled by default.
* Added brokenlinks plugin, not enabled by default, but rather handy.
* Fix several broken links in the doc wiki.
dependency relationships than just inlining. This will require a rebuild
on upgrade to this version.
* Move the rss link, put it in the blogpost form if there is one and at the
top if not. This is both nicer because easier to find, and it cleans up
the code which had used inlinepage as a flag for adding the link later.
* Allow the depends GlobList to be built up from multiple sources (such as
plugins) during a page render.
* Which means that more than one blog is now supported to appear on a
single page. (With some limitations.)
