The tag and taglink directives are supplied by the [[!iki plugins/tag desc=tag]] plugin.

These directives allow tagging pages. List tags as follows:

\[[!tag tech life linux]]

The tags work the same as if you had put a (hidden) [[ikiwiki/WikiLink]] on the page for each tag, so you can use a [[ikiwiki/PageSpec]] match all pages that are tagged with a given tag, for example. The tags will also show up on blog entries and at the bottom of the tagged pages, as well as in RSS and Atom feeds.

If you want a visible [[ikiwiki/WikiLink]] along with the tag, use taglink instead:

\[[!taglink foo]]
\[[!taglink tagged_as_foo|foo]]

Note that if the wiki is configured to use a tagbase, then the tags will be located under a base directory, such as "tags/". This is a useful way to avoid having to write the full path to tags, if you want to keep them grouped together out of the way.

Bear in mind that specifying a tagbase means you will need to incorporate it into the link() [[ikiwiki/PageSpec]] you use: e.g., if your tagbase is tag, you would match pages tagged "foo" with link(tag/foo).

If you want to override the tagbase for a particular tag, you can use something like this:

\[[!tag /foo]]
\[[!taglink /foo]]
