[[!template id=gitbranch branch=jmtd/img_use_template author="[[Jon]]"]]
Not finished! :-)
The patches in http://github.com/jmtd/ikiwiki/tree/img_use_template convert the img.pm plugin to use a template (by default, img.tmpl, varied using a template= parameter) rather than hard-code the generated HTML.
I originally thought of this to solve the problem outlined in [[bugs/can't mix template vars inside directives]], before I realised I could wrap the img call in my pages with a template to achieve the same thing.  I therefore sat on it.
However, I since thought of another use for this, and so started implementing it. (note to self: explain this other use)
