1 [[I|tschwinge]] started writing a plugin to render [Texinfo](http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/)
2 inside the ikiwiki environment.
4 The plugin is available at <http://www.schwinge.homeip.net/~thomas/tmp/texinfo.pm>.
6 It's very basic at the moment, but will be improved over time.
11 Conventional ikiwiki [[*htmlize*ing|plugins/write#index6h3]] plugins
12 have a one-to-one mapping of input file and output file:
13 `some/where/page.mdwn` is rendered to `some/where/page.html`.
14 This can also be achieved for Texinfo files, but is somewhat
15 unusual there, when rendering them to HTML. In general, there
18 * N Texinfo input files (a main `.texi` file,
19 several helper files (`fdl.texi`, `version.texi`, ...), and
20 additional text files which are included from the main `.texi`
21 file, e.g. `history.texi`, `libfoo.texi`, `libbar.texi`.
22 * M Texinfo output files: the main `.texi` file (which `include`s
23 the other input files) is usually rendered into a (flat) hierarchy
24 of HTML files, one file per node, see the table on
25 <http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/manual/texinfo/html_node/#Top>
