-Instead of having files foo.html "in front of" foo/, I prefer to have
-foo/index.html. This patch allows that. Specifically, foo/index.type
-is translated to $links{'foo/'}, and bestlink looks for either "foo" or
-"foo/" when linking to pages. There are other miscellaneous changes that
-go with that:
+This page used to be used for two patches, one of which is applied
+providing the usedirs option for output. The remaining patch, discussed
+below, concerns wanting to use foo/index.mdwn source files and get an
+output page name of foo, rather than foo/index. --[[Joey]]
-1. change the `cgi_editpage` `@page_locs` code so that creating foo from
- a/b/c prefers a/b/foo and then a/b/c/foo, but if creating foo from a/b/c/,
- then prefer a/b/c/foo. I'm not really sure why the original was doing what
- it did (why trim terminal `/` if no pages end in `/`?), so this part might
- break something.
-2. tweak things so that index.rss and index.atom are generated if inlining
- from 'foo/'
-2. backlinks from "foo/bar" to "foo/" trim common prefixes as long as there
- would be something left when the trimming is done (i.e. don't trim "foo/")
-3. parentlinks for "foo/" are the same as for "foo", except one directory
- higher
-4. rewrite parentlinks so that bestlink is called at each level
-5. basename("foo/") => basename("foo")
-6. links to "foo/" are translated to "foo/index.html" rather than "foo/.html".
- (Links to "foo/" might be preferred, but that causes an infinite loop in
- writefile, because apparently dirname("foo/") == "foo/" on my system for
- reasons that aren't clear to me.)
-7. pagetitle("foo/") => pagetitle("foo")
-8. clip the final slash when matching a relative pagespec, even if there are
- no characters after it (otherwise inlining "./a" from "foo/" gets
- translated to "foo//a")
-
-In case whitespace gets garbled, I'm also leaving a copy of the patch on
-[my site](http://ikidev.betacantrips.com/patches/index.patch). It should apply
-cleanly to a freshly unpacked ikiwiki-1.42. You can also see it in action

I independently implemented a similar, but smaller patch.
(It's smaller because I only care about rendering; not CGI, for example.)
Also note that an initial "index" is ignored. I.e. a
page "A/B/index.html" is treated as "A/B".
-> This is actually a pretty cool hack. I'll have to think about
-> whether I like it better than my way though :) --Ethan

-How about doing the index stuff only on the output side? (Or does the latter patch do it? I haven't tried them.) That is, render every `foo.type` for the rendered types (mdwn etc.) as `foo/index.html`, generating links to `foo/` instead of `foo.html`, but not earlier than the point where the .html as presently appended to the page name. Then you just flip a build time option on an existing wiki without any changes to that, and the pages appear elsewhere. The `index.type` files might be left out of this scheme, though (and the top-level one, of course, has to). --[[tuomov]]
-
-> Well, get around to wasting time on it after all, and [here's the patch](http://iki.fi/tuomov/use_dirs.diff). The `-use_dirs` option will cause everything to be rendered inside directories. There may still be some problems with it, that need looking into (it doesn't e.g. check for conflicts between foo/index.mdwn and foo.mdwn), but seems to work well enough for me... The patch also improves, I think, the parentlinks code a little, as it uses generic routines to actually find the target location now. The only places where the `use_dirs` option is used is `htmlpage`, in fact, although other specific kludges needed to be removed from other points in the code.
-
->> FWIW, [use_dirs.diff](http://iki.fi/tuomov/use_dirs.diff) applies cleanly, and works well for me. Given that it makes this behaviour optional, how about merging it? I have some follow-up patches which I'm sitting on for now. ;-) -- Ben

->>> How do you apply a patch created by svn diff? I've been curious about this for a long time. The use_dirs patch looks OK but I'd like to play with it. --Ethan

-
-* This does make the resulting wikis much less browsable directly on the
- filesystem, since `dir` to `dir/index.html` conversion is only handled by web
- servers and so you end up browsing to a directory index all the time.
- Wouldn't it be better to make the links themselves include the index.html?
- (Although that would mean that [[bugs/broken_parentlinks]] would not be
- fixed en passant by this patch..)

-
- >>> It is worth noting, that with this patch, you _can_ render the local

- >>> doubt. --[[tuomov]]
-
-* Some of the generated links are missing the trailing / , which is
- innefficient since it leads to a http redirect when clicking on that
- link. Seems to be limited to ".." links, and possibly only to
- parentlinks. (Already fixed it for "." links.)
-
- > The solution seems to be to add to `urlto` the following snippet,

-
- if ( !length $to ) {
- return baseurl($from);
- }
-
- >> Indeed, this brings the number of abs2rels closer to par, as well
- >> as fixing the .. links. --[[Joey]]
-
-* It calles abs2rel about 16% more often with the patch, which makes it
- a bit slower, since abs2rel is not very efficient. (This omits abs2rel
- calls that might be memoized away already.) This seems to be due to one
- extra abs2rel for the toplevel wiki page due to the nicely cleaned up code
- in `parentlinks` -- so I'm not really complaining.. Especially since the
- patch adds a new nice memoizable `urlto`.
-* The rss page name generation code seems unnecesarily roundabout, I'm sure
- that can be cleaned up somehow, perhaps by making `htmlpage` more
- generic.
-
- > Something like `targetpage(basename, extension)`?
-

-
-* `img.pm` makes some assumptions about name of the page that will be

-
-* The changes to htmlpage's behavior probably call for the plugin
- interface version number to be changed.
