[[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:
the output will look much better (at least in my wikis) with the "[[bugs/pagetitle function does not respect meta titles]]" issue fixed.
-the patch is stored in [[the patch.pl]] as created by git-format-patch. (btw, what's the preferred way to send patches, apart from creating a git branch somewhere?)
