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.

ikiwiki, like generating a page, or part of a blog page, or an rss feed, or
a cgi. This hook allows modifying the variables available on those

used for a page in the wiki. The hook is passed a "page" parameter, and
should return the name of the template file to use (relative to the
template directory), or undef if it doesn't want to change the default
("page.tmpl").
+### pageactions
+
+ hook(type => "pageactions", id => "foo", call => \&pageactions);
+
+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"

+bar.

### sanitize
hook(type => "sanitize", id => "foo", call => \&sanitize);

## 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.
it might return the current revision ID of the file, and use that
information later when merging changes.
-#### `rcs_commit($$$;$$)`
+#### `rcs_commit(@)`
+
+Passed named parameters: `file`, `message`, `token` (from `rcs_prepedit`),
+and `session` (optional).
-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).
-Passed a message, user, and ip address. Should commit all staged changes.
-Returns undef on success, and an error message on failure.
+Should commit all staged changes. Returns undef on success, and an
+error message on failure.
Changes can be staged by calls to `rcs_add`, `rcs_remove`, and
`rcs_rename`.
