-# Textile Plugin
+# Access Keys

 
 

-It was trivial, but I put together a plugin that uses the Textile markup
-language, which I find to be the most superior of the various options for
-that sort of thing.  Where or how do I submit it for inclusion?
+Would anyone else find this a valuable addition.  In oddmuse and instiki (the only other
+wiki engines I am currently using, the edit, home, and submit link tags have an
+accesskey attribute.  I find it nice not to have to resort to the mouse for those
+actions.  However, it may not be something everyone appreciates.  Any thoughts?

->> Thanks.  I tried using the "Add new post" form there, but apparently made a [mess of things somehow](http://ikiwiki.kitenet.net/contrib/textile___40__third-party_plugin__41__.html).  Sorry about that.

-> How does one go about making a markup language added by means of a plugin, the default markup language.  In other words, I would like the index page to be written in Textile.
-> If I include a index.txtl (where txtl is the extension I have assigned to be handled by the textile plugin), ikiwiki will ignore it and make a new index.mdwn.

+It would be nice to be able to edit the stylesheet by means of the cgi.  Or is this possible?  I wasn't able to achieve it.
+Ok, that's my last 2 cents for a while. --[Mazirian](http://mazirian.com)

 
 

->>> Thanks, Joey, much appreciated. --[Mazirian](http://mazirian.com)

+# Disable build/install requirement on PerlMagick
+
+Some installs of PerlMagick require X11. I tried to first disable using "img" by using "--disable-plugin img"
+in the Makefile. But still failed. My workaround was to remove "img" from the bundle in IkiWiki/Plugin/goodstuff.pm
+before building. What is the recommended way to install ikiwiki without "img" support? --[[JeremyReed]]

+# Documentation for banning users?
+
+The [[todo]] page says admins can ban users. Where is this documented? I search the source and found 
+set\_banned\_users() which led me to the CGI "preferences" form for the admin. Now logged in as an admin (as defined in my setup configuration),
+I see the field for this. But no details on how to use it. From the source it appears to be a space-delimited list of usernames. (I didn't test yet.)
+
+Can you please provide a [[banned_users]] documentation about "banning" users function linked from the [[Features]] page and maybe [[security]] page and linked from the "preferences" for the admin?
+(I don't do this myself as I am unsure about this and still reading the code about banning users.)

+
+# Documentation for locking pages?
+
+The [[features]] page, the [[todo]] page and the [[usage]] manual page say pages can be locked and only the admin can edit locked pages.
+Where is locking pages documented? ... A moment later, from searching source I found this is configured via the preferences for the admin
+and that links to [[pagespec]].
+
+Can you please provide a [[page_locking]] doc about locking pages linked from the [[features]] page and elsewhere? And have that link to [[pagespec]]?
+(I don't do this myself as I am unsure about this and still reading the code about locking pages.)
