[[ikiwiki/directive/linkmap]]s display the file name instead of the pagetitle, showing unsightly underscore escapes and underscores instead of blanks to users.
the attached [[!taglink patch]] fixes this; from its commit message:
because it can represent the '\"' dyad properly, and because it doesn't
need special-casing of newlines).
-everything below that line is the patch as produced by git-format-patch. (btw, what's the preferred way to send patches, apart from creating a git branch somewhere?)

+the output will look much better (at least in my wikis) with the "[[bugs/pagetitle function does not respect meta titles]]" issue fixed.

-without this patch, linkmaps display underscores and underscore escape
-sequences in the rendered output.

-this introduces a pageescape function, which invoces pagetitle() to get
-rid of underscore escapes and wraps the resulting utf8 string
-appropriately for inclusion in a dot file (using dot's html encoding
-because it can represent the '\"' dyad properly, and because it doesn't
-need special-casing of newlines).
