The [[ikiwiki/directive/inline]] directive allows the creation of new pages.
It would be nice if it was possible to specify default text for the new post.
For example:
\[[!inline pages="blog/* and !*/Discussion" postform="yes" newposttemplate="blogtemplate.mdwn"]]
This would allow you to create a new blog post. When you hit the Edit button, the system presents
you with an edit form as normal, but rather than being empty, it has the text from blogtemplate.mdwn.
Inline below is a [[patch]] that implements this:
