3 ikiwiki-transition - transition ikiwiki pages to new syntaxes
7 ikiwiki-transition type ...
11 `ikiwiki-transition` aids in converting ikiwiki pages when
12 there's a major change in ikiwiki syntax.
14 Currently only one such transition is handled, the `prefix_directives` mode
15 converts the specified ikiwiki page from the old preprocessor directive
16 syntax, requiring a space, to the new syntax, prefixed by '!'.
18 Preprocessor directives which already use the new syntax will remain
21 Note that if the page contains wiki links with spaces, which some
22 older versions of ikiwiki accepted, the prefix_directives transition will
23 treat these as preprocessor directives and convert them.
25 One other transition is handled, the `indexdb` mode handles converting
26 a plain text `.ikiwiki/index` file to a binary `.ikiwiki/indexdb`. In this
27 mode, you should specify the srcdir of the wiki as the second parameter.
28 You do not normally need to run `ikiwiki-transition indexdb`; ikiwiki will
29 automatically run it as necessary.
