After realizing (thanks to
[[Allow_TITLE_to_include_part_of_the_path_in_addition_to_the_basename]])
that I needed some kind of "parentlinks on steroids", I wrote a new
plugin, called pedigree.
This plugin provides a bunch of loops that one can use in his/her
HTML::Template's to iterate over all or a subset of a page's
parents. Inside these loops, half a dozen variables are made
available, in addition to PAGE and URL that are already provided
by parentlinks.
Amongst many possibilities, one can e.g. simply use this plugin to
give every parent link a different class= attribute, depending
either on its depth in the path leading to the current page, or on its
distance to it.
The code and documentation (including simple and complex usage
examples) are in the 'pedigree' Git branch in this repo:
git://repo.or.cz/ikiwiki/intrigeri.git
Seems there is also a gitweb.
Any opinions on the idea/design/implementation?
What needs to be changed so that it's possible to include it in
mainline ikiwiki?
(I'll try never to rebase this branch, but writing this plugin has
been a pretext for me to start learning Git, so...)
