`add_autofile` could be adapted to do this, or a similar API could be
|
|
added.
|
|
|
|
This would also be useful for autoindex, as suggested on
|
|
[[plugins/autoindex/discussion]]. I'd also like to use it for
|
|
[[plugins/contrib/album]].
|
|
|
|
One refinement I'd suggest is that if the transient page is edited,
|
|
its transient contents are evaluated and used as the initial
|
|
content for the edit box; after that, it'd become a static page. --[[smcv]]
