mdwn: Can use the discount markdown library, via the
Text::Markdown::Discount perl module.
This is preferred if available since it's the fastest currently supported
markdown library, speeding up markdown rendering by a factor of 40.
That is to say, when only rendering a lot of markdown, discount is 40x
faster. When building a ikiwiki site, ikiwiki's other overhead gets in the
way, but I still see significant speedups. Building the ikiwiki docwiki
dropped from 62 to 45 seconds, for example.
However, when multimarkdown is enabled, Text::Markdown::Multimarkdown is
still used.
While discount contains some nonstandard markdown extensions,
including tables and footnotes, AFAICS most of them are not
enabled by default in the perl bindings.
I consider sticking to non-extended markdown a desirable thing, since this
is probably not the last markdown engine. In particular, sundown is waiting
in the wings to get packaged and get a perl binding.

Reviewing all the showdown extensions, here are the ones that are enabled:
centered paragraphs:
->centered<-
image sizes: [dust mite](http://dust.mite =150x150)
<style>..</style> blocks are eaten. The perl binding does not provide
access to the gathered CSS. This is not legal html anyway, so unlikely
to cause breakage.
We had a weird problem where, after moving to a new, faster server,
"git push" would sometimes fail like this:
Unpacking objects: 100% (3/3), done.
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly
What turned out to be going on was that git-receive-pack was dying due
to an uncaught SIGPIPE. The SIGPIPE occurred when it tried to write to
the pre-receive hook's stdin. The pre-receive hook, in this case, was
able to do all the checks it needed to do without the input, and so did
exit(0) without consuming it.
Apparently that causes a race. Most of the time, git forks the hook,
writes output to the hook, and then the hook runs, ignores it, and exits.
But sometimes, on our new faster server, git forked the hook, and it
ran, and exited, before git got around to writing to it, resulting in
the SIGPIPE.
write(7, "c9f98c67d70a1cfeba382ec27d87644a"..., 100) = -1 EPIPE (Broken
pipe)
--- SIGPIPE (Broken pipe) @ 0 (0) ---
I think git should ignore SIGPIPE when writing to hooks. Otherwise,
hooks may have to go out of their way to consume all input, and as I've
seen, the races when they fail to do this can lurk undiscovered.
I have written to the git mailing list about this.
As a workaround, consume all stdin before exiting.
Using a file was sorta not right.
Note that when previewing, %pagestate is not saved, so
it has to rebuild the graph every time until that graph is saved;
then previews can use the cached data until the next time the graph
is changed.
Also note that it's stored in the destpage's pagestate. The imagemap
could vary between a page and an inlined page if wikilinks were supported.
Also, I let preview mode write real files, rather than using data: uri.
Which is ok these days, since ikiwiki tracks files created during
previewing, and cleans them up later.
In 875d550f12 I for some reason
made $page be changed when creating a discussion page, which
broke the link on the edit page. Changing page seems unnecessary,
so reverted that part of the change.
Involved dropping some checks for .svn which didn't add anything, since if
svn is enabled and you point it at a non-svn checkout, you get both pieces.
The tricky part is add and rename, in both cases the new file can be in
some subdirectory that is not added to svn.
For add, turns out svn has a --parents that will deal with this by adding
the intermediate directories to svn as well.
For rename though, --parents fails if the directories exist but are not
yet in svn -- which is exactly the case, since ikiwiki makes them
by calling prep_writefile. So instead, svn add the parent directory,
recursively.
tldr; svn made a reasonable change in dropping the .svn directories from
everywhere, but the semantics of other svn commands, particularly their
pickiness about whether parent directories are in svn or not, means
that without the easy crutch of checking for those .svn directories,
code has to tiptoe around svn to avoid pissing it off.
There's a nice message if the plugin is loaded and used and highlight is
not available, and a nice fallback. So no need for this other warning,
which can happen any time all plugins are loaded to generate a setup file.
This kind of change is scary, but this particular lock is very simply
used and so it seems ok to make it even just for better portability to
SunOS. (People still use that?)
* mercurial: openid nicknames are now used when committing. (Daniel Andersson)
* mercurial: implement rcs_commit_staged so comments, attachments, etc
can be used. (Daniel Andersson)
* mercurial: fix viewing of a diff containing non-utf8 changes.
(Daniel Andersson)
* rename: Fix logic error that broke renaming pages when the attachment
plugin was disabled.
* rename: Fix logic error that bypassed the usual pagespec checks.
If a page that looks like an email address exists, it can't be linked to.
But that's unlikely. Better to be consistent; before this change, a
wikilink with an email address in it could link to the email address or a
page, depending on when the page was created and when the page with the
link was updated.
Imagemagick does not generate svg images very well, but it can convert
them to png quite well.
For browsers that don't yet support displaying svg, this also provides a
workaround; just scale the svg down to get a png. But the workaround is
partial, since scaling the image larger, or leaving it the same size will
cause the original svg to be displayed. Since browsers are actively
improving svg support, this is good enough for me.
