I'm trying to create a template to use as a sidebar with links. The template will be static
|
|
(no variables are used). I first created a page with this directive: \[[!template id=sidebar]],
|
|
and then created the template with the web interface.
|
|
|
|
This is the code I put in the template:
|
|
|
|
<div class="infobox">
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>\[[Existing internal link|exists]]</li>
|
|
<li>\[[Non-existing internal link|doesnotexist]]</li>
|
|
<li>[External link](http://google.com/)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<http://google.com/>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
This is the relevant part of the resulting html file `template/sidebar.html`:
|
|
|
|
<div class="infobox">
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><a href="../exists.html">Existing internal link</a></li>
|
|
<li><span class="createlink"><a href="http://localhost/cgi-bin/itesohome.cgi?page=doesnotexist&from=templates%2Fsidebar&do=create" rel="nofollow">?</a>Non-existing internal link</span></li>
|
|
<li>[External link](http://google.com/)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
Note that the `<http://google.com/>` link has disappeared, and that `[External link](http://google.com/)`
|
|
has been copied literally instead of being converted to a link, as I expected.

> Templates aren't Markdown page. [[ikiwiki/WikiLink]] only are expanded. --[[Jogo]]
|
|
|
|
>> Thanks for the help Jogo. Looking at the [[templates]] page, it says that
|
|
"...you can include WikiLinks and all other forms of wiki markup in the template." I read this
|
|
to mean that a template may indeed include Markdown. Am I wrong in my interpratation? --[[buo]]
|
|
|
|
>> I discovered that if I eliminate all html from my sidebar.mdwn template, the links are
|
|
rendered properly. It seems that the mix of Markdown and html is confusing some part of
|
|
Ikiwiki. --[[buo]]
|
|
|
|
Worse, this is the relevant part of the html file of the page that includes the template:
|
|
|
|
<div class="infobox">
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><span class="selflink">Existing internal link</span></li>
|
|
<li><span class="createlink"><a href="http://localhost/cgi-bin/itesohome.cgi?page=doesnotexist&from=research&do=create" rel="nofollow">?</a>Non-existing internal link</span></li>
|
|
<li>[External link](http://google.com/)</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
Note that the `Existing internal link` is no longer a link. It is only text.
|
|
|
|
What am I doing wrong? Any help or pointers will be appreciated. --[[buo]]

I think I have figured this out. I thought the template was filled and then
|
|
processed to convert Markdown to html. Instead, the text in each variable is
|
|
processed and then the template is filled. I somehow misunderstood the
|
|
[[templates]] page. -- [[buo]]
