* Allow preprocessor directives to contain python-like triple-quoted

  text blocks, for easy nesting of quotes inside.
* Add a template plugin.
* Use the template plugin to add infoboxes to each plugin page listing basic
  info about the plugin.

-# thoughts on infoboxes
-
-I was thinking about adding a [[preprocessordirective]] to make it easy to
-add an info box. Something like:
-
-	\[[infobox "text here"]]
-
-But it seems it would be better if multi-line text could be put inside,
-maybe expanding the syntax a bit:
-
-	\[[infobox "
-	text here
-	and here
-	etc.
-	"]]
-
-This would just wrap the text up in a span element that was styled to float
-to the right, with a border, the way info boxes do on some wikis.
-
-However, as I thought about it some more, I realized that this would be
-just as easy to type:
-
-	<span id=infobox>
-	text here
-	</span>
-
-Why invent new syntax, after all? I see no reason to for something this
-simple.
-
-However, maybe in the more complex case, this would be useful. If the
-infobox filled in a kind of template:
-
-	\[[infobox type=person name="Joey Hess" email=joey@kitenet.net url="http://kitenet.net/~joey/" description="
-	Joey is the author of ikiwiki and some other stuff. *Yay*!
-	"]]
-
-That might be a lot more useful. Or here's one to use to describe ikiwiki's
-own plugins:
-
-	\[[infobox type=plugin name="sidebar" author="Tuomo Valkonen" core=no]]
-
-This would expand by filling out the template page, which would be
-infobox/person or infobox/plugin, or whatever, and would have some syntax
-(possibly HTML::Template, if it's secure) for testing for values and
-embedding variables. Of course it would register a dependency on its
-template so changes to the template update all the pages.
-
-(Since it's a preprocessor directive, the big multiline blocks of text can
-mix markdown (or whatever) with html, wikilinks, etc, in a natural way,
-which is nice..)
