The older syntax -used spaces to distinguish between directives and -wikilinks; as a result, with that syntax in use, you cannot use spaces -in WikiLinks, and must replace spaces with underscores. The newer -syntax, enabled with the `prefix_directives` option in an ikiwiki -setup file, prefixes directives with `!`, and thus does not prevent -links with spaces. Future versions of ikiwiki will turn this option -on by default. +If the file linked to by a WikiLink looks like an image, it will +be displayed inline on the page. + +--- + +You can also put an url in a WikiLink, to link to an external page. +Email addresses can also be used to generate a mailto link. diff --git a/doc/ikiwiki/wikilink/discussion.mdwn b/doc/ikiwiki/wikilink/discussion.mdwn index d6df4cbf6..89affc502 100644 --- a/doc/ikiwiki/wikilink/discussion.mdwn +++ b/doc/ikiwiki/wikilink/discussion.mdwn @@ -84,3 +84,8 @@ Is it possible to refer to a page, say \[[foobar]], such that the link text is t > Not yet. :-) Any suggestion for a syntax for it? Maybe something like \[[|foobar]] ? --[[Joey]] I like your suggestion because it's short and conscise. However, it would be nice to be able to refer to more or less arbitrary meta tags in links, not just "title". To do that, the link needs two parameters: the page name and the tag name, i.e. \[[pagename!metatag]]. Any sufficiently weird separater can be used instead of '!', of course. I like \[[pagename->metatag]], too, because it reminds me of accessing a data member of a structure (which is what referencing a meta tag is, really). --Peter + +> I dislike \[[pagename->metatag]] because other wikis use that as their normal link/label syntax. +> I'm not sure that it is a good idea to refer to arbitrary meta tags in links in the first place - what other meta tags would you really be interested in?
