A [[!taglink patch]] in my git repository (the inline-pagenames branch) adds the following parameter to the [[ikiwiki/directive/inline]] directive:

  • pagenames - If given instead of pages, this is interpreted as a space-separated list of links to pages (with the same [[ikiwiki/SubPage/LinkingRules]] as in a [[ikiwiki/WikiLink]]), and they are inlined in exactly the order given: the sort and pages parameters cannot be used in conjunction with this one.

This is on my [[wishlist]] for my [[plugins/contrib/album]] plugin, which currently uses it internally (as it has already collected the pages in order). It could also be useful for other things, like [[todo/wikitrails]]. --[[smcv]]

[[!tag plugins/inline]]

It's sort of a pity that a pagespec like "a or b or c" doesn't somehow match to (a, b, c) in that order, but I don't see how that would be generally possible. While this feels a bit like bloat and inline already has far too many parameters, I have [[merged|done]] it. --[[Joey]]
