[[!meta title="default content for copyright and license"]]
Someone was just asking for it and I had written these two plugins already some months ago,
so I'm now publishing them here.
copyright.pm
and
license.pm
Usage instructions are found inside the two plugin files.

I was asking about this in IRC the other day, but someone pointed me at the
[[Varioki|todo/varioki_--_add_template_variables___40__with_closures_for_values__41___in_ikiwiki.setup]]
plugin. It seems to me that it would be a better idea to have a way of defining
template variables in general, rather than having to add a new plugin for every
template variable somebody wants to use.

Copyright and license values are not "template values", they are values
tracked by the [[meta]] plugin, and that various code compares and uses to fill
out the templates. Something like varioki cannot do that. --[[Joey]]
Somewhat more detailed usage documentation would be appreciated. I tried to setup
those plugins with a current ikiwiki release, i.e. 2.61, but they appeared to do
nothing, really. Also, those example pages don't seem to use those plugins, even;
they set "copyright" and "license" properties using ordinary [[meta]] tags. Maybe
I'm missing something terribly obvious? --Peter
Only obvious if you read the source :-). You need to put a file named "copyright.html"
(respectively "license.html") in your wiki. Everything underneath that (in the wikilink sense) will use that
content for the license or copyright. Saves putting [[meta license="foo"]] in every page [[DavidBremner]]
By the way: these need not be HTML files; copyright.mdwn,
respectively license.mdwn, or every other format supported
by ikiwiki are likewise fine. --[[tschwinge]]
Jon has done something similar in [[todo/allow_site-wide_meta_definitions]];
his version has the advantages that it doesn't invent magical page names,
and can extend beyond just copyright and license, but has the disadvantage
that it doesn't support setting defaults for a given "subdirectory"
only. --[[smcv]]
