is write this on a wiki page:
- [[!fib ]]
+ \[[!fib]]

This has hooked our plugin into the preprocess hook, which ikiwiki uses to
-expand [[PreprocessorDirectives|ikiwiki/preprocessordirective]]. Notice
+expand preprocessor [[directives|ikiwiki/directive]]. Notice
that "fib" has shown up again. It doesn't actually have to match the module
name this time, but it generally will. This "fib" is telling ikiwiki what
-kind of PreprocessorDirective to handle, namely one that looks like this:

Notice the `\&preprocess`? This is how you pass a reference to a function,
and the `preprocess` function is the one that ikiwiki will call to expand
-the PreprocessorDirective. So, time to write that function:

sub preprocess {
my %params=@_;
It would be nice to be able to jump directly to a given point in the
sequence:
- \[[fib seed=20]], [[!fib ]], [[!fib ]]
+ \[[!fib seed=20]], [[!fib ]], [[!fib ]]
Just insert these lines of code inside `preprocess`, in the appropriate
spot:
