Inside these loops, half a dozen variables are made +available, in addition to `PAGE` and `URL` that are already provided +by parentlinks. + +Amongst many possibilities, one can e.g. simply use this plugin to +give every parent link a different `class=` attribute, depending +either on its depth in the path leading to the current page, or on its +distance to it. + +The code and documentation (including simple and complex usage +examples) are in the 'pedigree' Git branch in this repo: + + git://repo.or.cz/ikiwiki/intrigeri.git + +Seems there is also a [gitweb](http://repo.or.cz/w/ikiwiki/intrigeri.git). + +Any opinions on the idea/design/implementation? + +What needs to be changed so that it's possible to include it in +mainline ikiwiki? + +(I'll try never to rebase this branch, but writing this plugin has +been a pretext for me to start learning Git, so...) -- cgit v1.2.3
