If you use Firefox or Iceweasel, the It's All Text extension allows you to use a real text editor like Emacs or Vim to edit the contents of text areas. This allows you to edit ikiwiki pages with a real text editor through the ikiwiki web interface, rather than only with direct commit access. --[[JoshTriplett]]
