-ikiwiki also has an older syntax for directives, which requires a
-space in directives to distinguish them from [[wikilinks|ikiwiki/wikilink]].
-This syntax has several disadvantages: it requires a space after directives
-with no parameters (such as `\[[pagecount ]]`), and it prohibits spaces in
-[[wikilinks|ikiwiki/wikilink]].  ikiwiki now provides the `!`-prefixed syntax
-shown above as the preferred alternative.  However, ikiwiki still supports
-wikis using the older syntax, if the `prefix_directives` option is not enabled.
-For backward compatibility with existing wikis, this option currently
-defaults to off, so ikiwiki supports the old syntax.

-## Old syntax
-
-The old PageSpec syntax was called a "GlobList", and worked differently in
-two ways:
-
-1. "and" and "or" were not used; any page matching any item from the list
-   matched.
-2. If an item was prefixed with "`!`", then no page matching that item
-   matched, even if it matched an earlier list item.
-
-For example, here is the old way to match all pages except for the SandBox
-and Discussion pages:
-
-	* !SandBox !*/Discussion
-
-Using this old syntax is still supported. However, the old syntax is
-deprecated and will be removed at some point, and using the new syntax is
-recommended.
