4 Available from [[smcv]]'s git repository, in the `trail` branch. This
5 plugin aims to solve [[todo/wikitrails]] in a simpler way.
7 Joey: what do you think of this plugin? If you like the general approach
8 and are likely to include it in ikiwiki, I'll try to modify
9 [[plugins/contrib/album]] to be based on it, rather than partially
12 This plugin can benefit from
13 [[another_of_my_branches|todo/inline_plugin:_specifying_ordered_page_names]]
14 but does not require it.
18 * \[[!inline pages="..." trail=yes]] currently tries to work out
19 what pages are in the trail, and their order, at scan time. That
20 won't work, because matching a pagespec at scan time is
21 unreliable - pages we want might not have been scanned yet! I
22 haven't worked out a solution for this. I think
23 \[[!inline pagenames="..." trail=yes]]
24 ([[patch_required|todo/inline_plugin:_specifying_ordered_page_names]])
25 would be safe, though.

31 It's sometimes useful to have "trails" of pages in a wiki, as a guided
32 tour, sequence of chapters etc. In this plugin, a trail is represented
33 by a page, and the pages in the trail are indicated by specially marked
34 links within that page.
36 If using the default `page.tmpl`, each page automatically displays the
37 trails that it's a member of (if any), with links to the trail and to
38 the next and previous members.
40 The `traillink` [[ikiwiki/directive]] is used to record which pages
41 are in a trail, and simultaneously link to them. Alternatively, the
42 [[ikiwiki/directive/inline]] directive can be used with `trail=yes`
43 to record the inlined pages as part of the trail, in the order in
44 which they are inlined.
48 (These will go to the appropriate pages in [[ikiwiki/directive]] if this
49 plugin is included in ikiwiki.)
53 The `traillink` directive is supplied by the [[!iki plugins/contrib/trail desc=trail]]
54 plugin. This directive appears on the page representing a trail. It acts
55 as a visible [[ikiwiki/WikiLink]], but also records the linked page as
56 a member of the trail.
58 Various syntaxes can be used:
60 \[[!traillink Badgers]]
61 \[[!traillink How_to_find_mushrooms_using_badgers|badgers]]
62 \[[!traillink badgers text="How to find mushrooms using badgers"]]
66 The `trailoptions` directive is supplied by the [[!iki plugins/contrib/trail desc=trail]]
67 plugin. This directive appears on the page representing a trail, and
70 Currently, the only option supported is `[[!trailoptions circular=yes]]`,
71 which adds links between the first and last pages, turning the trail into
