-At first I need to thank you for ikiwiki - it is what I was always looking for - coming from a whole bunch of wiki engines, this is the most intelligent and least bloated one.

-My question is about the [[plugins/attachment]] plugin in conjunction with [[plugins/filecheck]]: I am using soundmanger2 js-library for having attached media files of all sorts played inline a page.

-To achieve this soundmanager2 asks for an id inside a ul-tag surrounding the a-tag. I was wondering if the Insert Link button could be provided with a more elegant solution than to have this code snippet to be filled in by hand every time you use it to insert links for attached media files. And in fact there apparently is a way in attachment.pm.

-While I can see that it is not needed for everyone inserting links to attached media files to have ul- and li-tags surrounding the link itself as well as being supplied with an id fill in, for me it would be the most straight forward solution. Pitty is I don't have the time to wrap my head around perl to write a patch myself. Is there any way to have this made an option which can be called via templates?

-For sure I would like to donate for such a patch as well as I will do it for ikiwiki anyway, because it is such a fine application.

-If you are not familiar with soundmanager2: It is a very straight forward solution to inline mediafiles, using the usual flash as well as html5 solutions (used by soundcloud.com, freesound.org and the like). Worth a look anyway [schillmania.com](http://www.schillmania.com/)

+> You could make a [[ikiwiki/directive/template]] for soundmanager2

+> when you want to embed a sound file. Something like this:
+
+ \[[!template id=embed_mp3 file=your.mp3]]
+
+> Then in templates/embed_mp3.mdwn, something vaguely like this:
+
+ <ul id="foo">
+ <a href="<TMPL_VAR FILE>">mp3</a>
+ </ul>
