+- I would like to have a link to the raw source; using will_render() and then copying the file should work.

-because they both generate page working/dir/foo. Is there some way to change the default output name?
+because they both generate page working/dir/foo. 
+It looks to me like ikiwiki is hardcoded to strip the extension in `pagename()` (IkiWiki.pm).
+This problem with sourcehighlight needs to be fixed before it is very useful.

+- Is there a way to configure the colors used by source-highlight (other than editing the globally installed "default.style" file)? It would help if I could pass the command arbitrary command-line arguments; then I could configure which config file it's supposed to use. For instance, I'm not a fan of hard-coding the colors into the HTML output. IMHO, css-style formatting should be preferred. All that can be set via the command line ... --Peter

+Note that [[Will]] wrote a plugin that uses source-highlight also. It's
