Since some preprocessor directives insert raw HTML, it would be good to specify, per-format, how to pass HTML so that it goes through the format OK. With Markdown we cross our fingers; with reST we use the "raw" directive. I added an extra named parameter to the htmlize hook, which feels sort of wrong, since none of the other hooks take parameters. Let me know what you think. --Ethan Seems fairly reasonable, actually. Shouldn't the `$type` come from `$page` instead of `$destpage` though? Only other obvious change is to make the escape parameter optional, and only call it if set. --[[Joey]] > I couldn't figure out what to make it from, but thinking it through, > yeah, it should be $page. Revised patch follows. --Ethan >> I've updated the patch some more, but I think it's incomplete. ikiwiki >> emits raw html when expanding WikiLinks too, and it would need to escape >> those. Assuming that escaping html embedded in the middle of a sentence >> works.. --[[Joey]]

   * Fix smiley plugin to scan smileys.mdwn after it's updated, which fixes
     a bug caused by committing changes to smilies.mdwn.
   * Fix display of escaped wikilinks containing anchors.
+  * Based on a patch by Ethan, add a new htmlescape hook, that is called
+    when a preprocssor directive emits inline html. The rst plugin uses this
+    hook to support inlined raw html.

+Some markup languages do not allow raw html to be mixed in with the markup
+language, and need it to be escaped in some way. This hook is a companion
+to the htmlize hook, and is called when ikiwiki detects that a preprocessor
+directive is inserting raw html. It is passed the chunk of html in
+question, and should return the escaped chunk.

 Note that this plugin does not interoperate very well with the rest of
 ikiwiki. Limitations include:
 
-* reStructuredText does not allow raw html to be inserted into
-  documents, but ikiwiki does so in many cases, including
-  [[WikiLinks|WikiLink]] and many
-  [[PreprocessorDirectives|PreprocessorDirective]].
+* Some bits of ikiwiki may still assume that markdown is used or embed html
+  in ways that break reStructuredText. (Report bugs if you find any.)
 * It's slow; it forks a copy of python for each page. While there is a
   perl version of the reStructuredText processor, it is not being kept in
   sync with the standard version, so is not used.
