There's documentation if you want to [[write]] your own plugins, or you can install and use plugins contributed by others.
The ikiwiki package includes some standard plugins that are installed and
by default. These include [[inline]], [[pagecount]], [[brokenlinks]],
[[smiley]], and [[search]]. Of these, [[inline]] is enabled by default.
To enable other plugins, use the --plugin switch described in [[usage]],
or the equivalent line in [[ikiwiki.setup]].
Plugin directory
Add your contributed plugins here. Or add ideas to the [[todo|todo/plugin]] page.
[[inline pages="plugins/* !plugins/write !*/Discussion" archive="yes" rootpage="plugins/contrib" show="30"]]
Installing third party plugins
Plugins are perl modules and should be installed somewhere in the perl
module search path. See the @INC list at the end of the output of perl -V
for a list of the directories in that path. All plugins are in the
IkiWiki::Plugin namespace, so they go in a IkiWiki/Plugin subdirectory
inside the perl search path. For example, if your perl looks in
/usr/local/lib/site_perl for modules, you can locally install ikiwiki
plugins to /usr/local/lib/site_perl/IkiWiki/Plugin
