* Rename inlinepage to depends, so that it can be used to refer to more
dependency relationships than just inlining. This will require a rebuild on upgrade to this version. * Move the rss link, put it in the blogpost form if there is one and at the top if not. This is both nicer because easier to find, and it cleans up the code which had used inlinepage as a flag for adding the link later. * Allow the depends GlobList to be built up from multiple sources (such as plugins) during a page render. * Which means that more than one blog is now supported to appear on a single page. (With some limitations.)

@@ -20,7 +20,11 @@ Considering ikiwiki plugins, one idea I have is to make the [[PreProcessorDirect
Since preprocessing happens before htmlization but after a page is loaded and linkified, it should be possible to use it to create something like a link map or lists, or a page index. Page inlining and rss generation is already done via preprocessor directives and seems a natureal as a plugin too.
-Note that things like a link map or a broken link list page would need to be updated whenever a set (or all) pages change; the %inlinepages hash already allows for pages to register this, although it might need to be renamed.

I need to look at the full range of things that other wikis use their plugin systems for, but preprocessor directives as plugins certianly seems useful, even if it's not a complete solution.
