Ikiwiki descends the directory hierarchy looking for a +page that matches your link. + +For example, if FooBar/SubPage links to "OtherPage", ikiwiki will first +prefer pointing the link to FooBar/SubPage/OtherPage if it exists, next +to FooBar/OtherPage and finally to OtherPage in the root of the wiki. + +Note that this means that if a link on FooBar/SomePage to "OtherPage" +currently links to OtherPage, in the root of the wiki, and FooBar/OtherPage +is created, the link will _change_ to point to FooBar/OtherPage. On the +other hand, a link from BazBar to "OtherPage" would be unchanged by this +creation of a [[SubPage]] of FooBar. + +You can also specify a link that contains a directory name, like +"FooBar/OtherPage" to more exactly specify what page to link to. This is +the only way to link to an unrelated [[SubPage]]. + +You can use this to, for example, to link from BazBar to "FooBar/SubPage", +or from BazBar/SubPage to "FooBar/SubPage". |
