Before:
ikiwiki/ todo/ Add space before slash in parent links
+<TMPL_VAR INDEXLINK> / <TMPL_VAR TITLE>
</span>
</div>
+
+----
+
+It's almost implicit in some of the discussion above but this can be achieved locally if you fork your templates directory from ikiwiki's, with an ammendment such as
+
+ <h1><TMPL_LOOP NAME="PARENTLINKS"><a
+ href="<TMPL_VAR NAME=URL>"><TMPL_VAR NAME=PAGE></a>
+ →
+ </TMPL_LOOP><TMPL_VAR TITLE></h1>
+
+This is what I do on my site for example. -- [[Jon]]

+
+----
+
+Here is a solution which doesn't require people to create their own
+`page.tmpl`. The solution uses an HTML list together with CSS to draw the
+separator and can therefore be controlled by users. This change also
+allows people to control other aspects of how the parentlinks are
+displayed. The only drawback is that lynx/w3m don't seem to deal with this
+CSS feature, but I don't think it's too bad since the parentlinks will
+simply show up as a list.
+
+> I guess I could live with w3m having a second list at the top.
+>

+
+(I see that the other patch changes templates/misc.tmpl and
+templates/recentchanges.tmpl for INDEXLINK. I haven't done that but can do
+so if [[Joey]] likes this approach.)
+
+> Those template no longer have the redundant stuff. --[[Joey]]
