-## NAME
-IkiWiki::Plugin::ftemplate - field-aware structured template plugin
+This plugin provides the [[ikiwiki/directive/ftemplate]] directive.
-## SYNOPSIS
+This is like the [[ikiwiki/directive/template]] directive, with the addition
+that one does not have to provide all the values in the call to the template,
+because ftemplate can query structured data ("fields") using the [[field]]
+plugin.
- # activate the plugin
- add_plugins => [qw{goodstuff ftemplate ....}],

-## DESCRIPTION
-
-This plugin provides the **ftemplate** directive. This is like
-the [[ikiwiki/directive/template]] directive, with the addition that one does not
-have to provide all the values in the call to the template,
-because ftemplate can query structured data ("fields") using
-the [[field]] plugin.
-
-Templates are files that can be filled out and inserted into pages in
-the wiki, by using the ftemplate directive. The directive has an id
-parameter that identifies the template to use.
-
-Additional parameters can be used to fill out the template, in
-addition to the "field" values. Passed-in values override the
-"field" values.
-
-There are two places where template files can live. One is, as with the
-[[plugins/template]] plugin, in the /templates directory on the wiki. These
-templates are wiki pages, and can be edited from the web like other wiki
-pages.
-
-The second place where template files can live is in the global
-templates directory (the same place where the page.tmpl template lives).
-This is a useful place to put template files if you want to prevent
-them being edited from the web, and you don't want to have to make
-them work as wiki pages.
-
-### EXAMPLES
-
-#### Example 1
-
-PageA:
-
- \[[!meta title="I Am Page A"]]
- \[[!meta description="A is for Apple."]]
- \[[!meta author="Fred Nurk"]]
- \[[!ftemplate id="mytemplate"]]
-
-Template "mytemplate":
+## Activate the plugin
- # <TMPL_VAR NAME="TITLE">
- by <TMPL_VAR NAME="AUTHOR">
-
- **Summary:** <TMPL_VAR NAME="DESCRIPTION">
-
-This will give:
-
- <h1>I Am Page A</h1>
- <p>by Fred Nurk</p>
- <p><strong>Summary:</strong> A is for Apple.
-
-#### Example 2: Overriding values
-
-PageB:
-
- \[[!meta title="I Am Page B"]]
- \[[!meta description="B is for Banana."]]
- \[[!meta author="Fred Nurk"]]
- \[[!ftemplate id="mytemplate" title="Bananananananas"]]
-
-This will give:
-
- <h1>Bananananananas</h1>
- <p>by Fred Nurk</p>
- <p><strong>Summary:</strong> B is for Banana.
-
-### LIMITATIONS
-
-One cannot query the values of fields on pages other than the current
-page.
