I'm writing my own CSS for ikiwiki. During this effort I often found the need of adding more class="" attributes to the default ikiwiki templates. This way more presentational aspects of visual formatting can be delegated to CSS and removed from the HTML structure.
In this patch I plan to collect changes in this direction.
The first, one-liner, patch is to use a "div" element with a
class="actions" attribute for inline page as is done with non-inlined page.
This way the same CSS formatting can be applied to div.actions in the CSS,
while at the moment it must be duplicated for a span.actions (which I
believe is also incorrect, since it will contain a "ul" element, not sure
though). In case the markup should be differentiated it will still be
possible relying on the fact that a div.actions is contained or not in a
div.inlinepage.
Here's the one-liner:

The following adds a div element with class="trailer" around the
meta-information added after an inlined page (namely: the post date, the
tags, and the actions):

Unfortunately, the inlinepage content passes through markdown, and markdown
gets confused by these nested div's and puts p's around one of them, generating
broken html. If you can come up with a way to put in the div that passes
the test suite, or a fix to markdown, I will accept it, but the above patch
fails the test suite. --[[Joey]]
Just a note... This discrepancy doesn't exist in pandoc as
demonstrated in the relevant page.
Pandoc is a real parser for markdown (contrasting the regexp based implementation of
markdown.pl). I've almost finished the Debian packaging. John is working on a --strict mode
which will hopefully make pandoc a drop-in replacement for markdown. I'll upload pandoc after
his work has finished. Whether it could be used in IkiWiki is an open question, but having
alternatives is always a good thing and perhaps, the fact that pandoc can make markdown->LaTeX
conversion may lead to new possibilities. --[[Roktas]]
