The general form is: - - \[[!directive param="value" param="value"]] - -This gets expanded before the rest of the page is processed, and can be used -to transform the page in various ways. - -The quotes around values can be omitted if the value is a simple word. -Also, some directives may use parameters without values, for example: - - \[[!tag foo]] - -A preprocessor directive does not need to all be on one line, it can be -wrapped to multiple lines if you like: - - \[[!directive foo="baldersnatch" - bar="supercalifragalisticexpealadocious" baz=11]] - -Also, multiple lines of *quoted* text can be used for a value. -To allow quote marks inside the quoted text, delimit the block -of text with triple-quotes: - - \[[!directive text=""" - 1. "foo" - 2. "bar" - 3. "baz" - """]] - -ikiwiki also has an older syntax for preprocessor directives, which requires a -space in directives to distinguish them from [[wikilinks|wikilink]]. This -syntax has several disadvantages: it requires a space after directives with no -parameters (such as `\[[pagecount ]]`), and it prohibits spaces in -[[wikilinks|wikilink]]. ikiwiki now provides the `!`-prefixed syntax shown -above as the preferred alternative. However, ikiwiki still supports wikis -using the older syntax, if the `prefix_directives` option is not enabled. -For backward compatibility with existing wikis, this option currently -defaults to off, so ikiwiki supports the old syntax. |
