What should the plugin do? Let's make it calculate and output the Fibonachi
-sequense. To output the next number in the sequence, all a user has to do
+sequence. To output the next number in the sequence, all a user has to do
is write this on a wiki page:
[[fib ]]
}
This has hooked our plugin into the preprocess hook, which ikiwiki uses to
-expand [[PreprocessorDirectives|preprocessordirectives]]. Notice that "fib"
+expand [[PreprocessorDirectives|preprocessordirective]]. 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:
Obviously, using a global `$last` veriable was a bad idea. It would
work ok in a more regular cgi-based wiki, which only outputs one page per
run. But since ikiwiki is a wiki *compiler*, things are a bit more
-complicated. It't not very hard to fix, though, if we do want the seqense
+complicated. It's not very hard to fix, though, if we do want the sequence
to start from 1 in every page that uses it.

As these security problems have demonstrated, even a simple input from the
-user needs to be checked thuroughly before being used by an ikiwiki plugin.
