doc/todo/modify_page_filename_in_plugin.mdwn



I'm writing a plugin to wikify c/c++ code.
By default ikiwiki generates xxx.html for a file called xxx.c.
The problem is that I occasionally have xxx.c and xxx.h in the same directory and there's a filename collision.
My solution is to allow plugins to provide a hook that sets the pagename. --[[/users/bstpierre]]

You might also find the solution to [[bugs/multiple_pages_with_same_name]] helps you.  That patch is already applied. -- [[Will]]
