1 In another blog, I could tag a post with arbitrary words and not have to do
2 anything else for the software to recognize it as a tag. In Ikiwiki if you
3 want to tag something \[[tag foo]] you also have to go to tags/ and create
4 foo.mkdn (even if it's zero-length), because "tags are links", and links
5 don't actually *link* if they have no destination. This allows for
6 customization of how you present different tag feeds, but this (to me) is
7 too much work and more like a category than a tag. It'd be nice if you
8 could tell the tag plugin "if the tag target doesn't exist in tags/*,
9 pretend it does exist and is zero-length". -- [[users/Larry_Clapp]]
11 Never mind, I think I found the answer (or at least a pointer)
12 [[here|plugins/tag/discussion/]]. Feel free to delete both these comments
13 :). -- [[users/Larry_Clapp]]
