+The `aggregate` directive is supplied by the [[!iki plugins/aggregate
+desc=aggregate]] plugin. This plugin requires extra setup, specifically, a
+cron job. See the plugin's documentation for details.
+
+This directive allows content from other feeds to be aggregated into the
+wiki. Aggregate a feed as follows:
+
+ \[[!aggregate name="eksempel blog" dir="eksempel"
+ feedurl="http://eksempel.dk/index.rss"
+ url="http://eksempel.dk/" updateinterval="15"]]
+
+That example aggregates posts from the specified RSS feed, updating no more
+frequently than once every 15 minutes (though possibly less frequently, if
+the cron job runs less frequently than that), and puts a page per post under
+the example/ directory in the wiki.
+
+You can then use ikiwiki's [[inline]] directive to create a blog of one or
+more aggregated feeds. For example:
+
+ \[[!inline pages="internal(eksempel/*)"]]
+
+Note the use of `internal()` in the [[ikiwiki/PageSpec]] to match aggregated
+pages. By default, aggregated pages are internal pages, which prevents them
+from showing up directly in the wiki, and so this special [[PageSpec]] is
+needed to match them.
+
+## brug
+
+Here are descriptions of all the supported parameters to the `aggregate`
+directive:
+
+* `name` - A name for the feed. Each feed must have a unique name.
+ Required.
+* `url` - The url to the web page for the feed that's being aggregated.
+ Required.
+* `dir` - The directory in the wiki where pages should be saved. Optional,
+ if not specified, the directory is based on the name of the feed.
+* `feedurl` - The url to the feed. Optional, if it's not specified ikiwiki
+ will look for feeds on the `url`. RSS and atom feeds are supported.
+* `updateinterval` - How often to check for new posts, in minutes. Default
+ is 15 minutes.
+* `expireage` - Expire old items from this feed if they are older than a
+ specified number of days. Default is to never expire on age.
+* `expirecount` - Expire old items from this feed if there are more than the
+ specified number total. Oldest items will be expired first. Default is to
+ never expire on count.
+* `tag` - A tag to tag each post from the feed with. A good tag to use is
+ the name of the feed. Can be repeated multiple times. The [[tag]] plugin
+ must be enabled for this to work.
+* `template` - Template to use for creating the aggregated pages. Defaults
+ to aggregatepost.
+
+Note that even if you are using subversion or another revision control
+system, pages created by aggregation will *not* be checked into revision
+control.
