On [[todo/auto-create_tag_pages_according_to_a_template]], [[chrysn]]
suggests:
Instead of creating a file that gets checked in into the RCS, the
source files could be left out and the output files be written as
long as there is no physical source file (think of a virtual underlay).
Something similar would be required to implement alias directive,
which couldn't be easily done by writing to the RCS as the page's
contents can change depending on which other pages claim it as an alias.
add_autofile could be adapted to do this, or a similar API could be
added.
This would also be useful for autoindex, as suggested on
[[plugins/autoindex/discussion]]. I'd also like to use it for
[[plugins/contrib/album]].
One refinement I'd suggest is that if the transient page is edited,
its transient contents are evaluated and used as the initial
content for the edit box; after that, it'd become a static page. --[[smcv]]
