## General problems
we could use an external plugin..)
* Currently no single plugin supports both modes of operation (directive
and whole source file to page).

+
* Nothing seems to support
[[wiki-formatted_comments|wiki-formatted_comments_with_syntax_plugin]]
inside source files. Doing this probably means post-processing the
results of the highlighting engine, to find places where it's highlighted
comments, and then running them through the ikiwiki rendering pipeline.

at least.
* The whole-file plugins tend to have a problem that things that look like
wikilinks in the source code get munged into links by ikiwiki, which can
One approach that's also been requested for eg,
[[plugins/contrib/mediawiki]] is to allow controlling which linkification
types a page type can have on it.

* The whole-file plugins all get confused if there is a `foo.c` and a `foo.h`.
This is trivially fixable now by passing the keepextension option when
registering the htmlize hooks, though.

## format directive
Rather than making syntax highlight plugins have to provide a preprocessor
