Pass it the page that contains the link, and the link text. An optional third parameter sets the link type. If not specified, it is an ordinary [[ikiwiki/WikiLink]]. +### `add_autofile($$$)` + +Sometimes you may want to add a file to the `srcdir` as a result of content +of other pages. For example, [[plugins/tag]] pages can be automatically +created as needed. This function can be used to do that. + +The three parameters are the filename to create (relative to the `srcdir`), +the name of the plugin, and a callback function. The callback will be +called if it is appropriate to automatically add the file, and should then +take care of creating it, and doing anything else it needs to (such as +checking it into revision control). Note that the callback may not always +be called. For example, if an automatically added file is deleted by the +user, ikiwiki will avoid re-adding it again. + +This function needs to be called during the scan hook, or earlier in the +build process, in order to add the file early enough for it to be built. + ## Miscellaneous ### Internal use pages |
