This syntax has several disadvantages: it requires a space after directives with no -parameters (such as `\[[!pagecount ]]`), and it prohibits spaces in +parameters (such as `\[[pagecount ]]`), and it prohibits spaces in [[wikilinks|wikilink]]. ikiwiki now provides the `!`-prefixed syntax shown above as the preferred alternative. However, ikiwiki still supports wikis -using the older syntax, if their setup files disable the `prefix_directives` -option. For backward compatibility with existing wikis, this option currently -defaults to off, so ikiwiki uses the old directive syntax; however, future -versions of ikiwiki will turn this on by default. +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. |
