Now that it knows what pages it needs to build, ikiwiki runs two
compile passes. First, it runs `scan` hooks, which collect metadata about
the pages. Then it runs a page rendering pipeline, by calling in turn these
-hooks: `filter`, `preprocess`, `linkify`, `htmlize`, `postscan`,
+hooks: `filter`, `preprocess`, `linkify`, `htmlize`, `indexhtml`,
`pagetemplate`, `sanitize`, `format`.
After all necessary pages are built, it calls the `change` hook. Finally,
hook(type => "filter", id => "foo", call => \&filter);
-Runs on the raw source of a page, before anything else touches it, and can
-make arbitrary changes. The function is passed named parameters "page",
+Runs on the full raw source of a page, before anything else touches it, and
+can make arbitrary changes. The function is passed named parameters "page",
"destpage", and "content". It should return the filtered content.
### preprocess
If `hook` is passed an optional "longname" parameter, this value is used
when prompting a user to choose a page type on the edit page form.
-### postscan
+### indexhtml
- hook(type => "postscan", id => "foo", call => \&postscan);
+ hook(type => "indexhtml", id => "foo", call => \&indexhtml);
This hook is called once the page has been converted to html (but before
the generated html is put in a template). The most common use is to
update search indexes. Added in ikiwiki 2.54.
-The function is passed named parameters "page" and "content". Its return
-value is ignored.

+This hook allows plugins to add arbitrary actions to the action bar on a
+page (next to Edit, RecentChanges, etc). The hook is passed a "page"
+parameter, and can return a list of html fragments to add to the action
+bar.
### sanitize
hook(type => "genwrapper", id => "foo", call => \&genwrapper);
This hook is used to inject C code (which it returns) into the `main`

## Exported variables
### `template($;@)`
-Creates and returns a [[!cpan HTML::Template]] object. The first parameter
-is the name of the file in the template directory. The optional remaining
+Creates and returns a [[!cpan HTML::Template]] object. (In a list context,
+returns the parameters needed to construct the obhect.)
+
+The first parameter is the name of the template file. The optional remaining
parameters are passed to `HTML::Template->new`.
+Normally, the template file is first looked for in the templates/ subdirectory
+of the srcdir. Failing that, it is looked for in the templatedir.
+
+Wiki pages can be used as templates. This should be done only for templates
+which it is safe to let wiki users edit. Enable it by passing a filename
+with no ".tmpl" extension. Template pages are normally looked for in
+the templates/ directory. If the page name starts with "/", a page
+elsewhere in the wiki can be used.
+
+### `template_depends($$;@)`
+
+Use this instead of `template()` if the content of a template is being
+included into a page. This causes the page to depend on the template,
+so it will be updated if the template is modified.
+
+Like `template()`, except the second parameter is the page.
+
### `htmlpage($)`
Passed a page name, returns the base name that will be used for a the html
If the directory name is not absolute, ikiwiki will assume it is in
the parent directory of the configured underlaydir.
-### `displaytime($;$)`
+### `displaytime($;$$)`
Given a time, formats it for display.
The optional second parameter is a strftime format to use to format the
time.
+If the third parameter is true, this is the publication time of a page.
+(Ie, set the html5 pubdate attribute.)
+
### `gettext`
This is the standard gettext function, although slightly optimised.
of other pages. For example, [[plugins/tag]] pages can be automatically
created as needed. This function can be used to do that.
-The three parameters are the filename to add, the name of the plugin,

This function needs to be called during the scan hook, or earlier in the
build process, in order to add the file early enough for it to be built.

information later when merging changes.
-#### `rcs_commit($$$;$$)`

+
+Passed named parameters: `file`, `message`, `token` (from `rcs_prepedit`),

-Passed a file, message, token (from `rcs_prepedit`), user, and ip address.
Should try to commit the file. Returns `undef` on *success* and a version
of the page with the rcs's conflict markers on failure.
-#### `rcs_commit_staged($$$)`
+#### `rcs_commit_staged(@)`
+
+Passed named parameters: `message`, and `session` (optional).

+Should commit all staged changes. Returns undef on success, and an

Changes can be staged by calls to `rcs_add`, `rcs_remove`, and
`rcs_rename`.
