This is useful +w.r.t. backlinks. Alternative, the backlinks to the \[[!meta redir]]-using +pages could perhaps be passed on to the referred-to page? + +## Sendmail -- [[todo/passwordauth:_sendmail_interface]] + +## Parentlinks -- [[bugs/non-existing_pages_in_parentlinks]] + +## Discussion Pages of Discussion Pages of... + +Is it useful to have Discussion pages of Discussion pages (etc.)? -- On +<http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/building/cross-compiling/discussion.html>, +this possibility is offered. + +## Modifying [[plugins/inline]] for showing only an *appetizer* + +Currently ikiwiki's inline plugin will either show the full page or nothing of +it. Often that's too much. One can manually use the [[plugins/toggle]] plugin +-- see the *News* section on <http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/>. Adding a new +mode to the inline plugin to only show an *appetizer* ending with *... (read +on)* after a customizable amount of characters (or lines) would be a another +possibility. The *... (read on)* would then either toggle the full content +being displayed or link to the complete page. + +## Prefix For the HTML Title + +The title of each page (as in `<html><head><title>`...) should be prefixed with +*GNU Project - GNU Hurd -*. We can either do this directly in `page.tmpl`, or +create a way to modify the `TITLE` template variable suitably. + +## [[plugins/inline]] feedfile option + +Not that important. Git commit b67632cdcdd333cf0a88d03c0f7e6e62921f32c3. This +would be nice to have even when using *usedirs*. Might involve issues as +discussed in *N-to-M Mapping of Input and Output Files* on +[[plugins/contrib/texinfo]]. + +## Unverified -- these may be bugs, but have yet to be verified + + * ikiwiki doesn't change its internal database when \[[!meta date]] / + \[[!meta updated]] are added / removed, and thusly these meta values are + not promulgated in RSS / Atom feeds. + + * Complicated issue w.r.t. *no text was copied in this page* + ([[plugins/cutpaste]]) in RSS feed (only; not Atom?) under some conditions + (refresh only, but not rebuild?). Perhaps missing to read in / parse some + files? + + * [[plugins/recentchanges]] + + * Creates non-existing links to changes. + + * Invalid *directory link* with `--usedirs`. + + * Doesn't honor `$timeformat`. + + * Does create `recentchangees.*` files even if that is overridden. |
