[[I|tschwinge]] started writing a plugin to render
[GNU Texinfo](http://www.gnu.org/software/texinfo/)
inside the ikiwiki environment.
There needs to be some logic to establish a mapping between the *N* input files
and the *M* output files.
-(At least for web-editing via CGI this is needed.)
+(At least for web-editing via CGI this is needed: ikiwiki (currently) needs to be able
+to deduce *one* input file from a given output file)
Easiest would be either to have *N = 1*
(plus perhaps some input files that are not meant to be editable, like `gpl.texi`)
or to have
(?) One possibility (which is what I'm doing at the moment) is to simply cut away
everythin until `<body>` is seen and after `</body>` has been seen. --[[tschwinge]]

+# Bugs
+
+## Non-functional Texinfo Commands
+
+Those commands are know to not work currently:
+
+* `@printindex`
+* `@shortcontents`
+* `@contents`
+
+This is due to `makeinfo` not providing this functionality if rendering to stdout.
