+I initially thought this wasn't actually necessary - the combination
+of [[plugins/template]] with [[plugins/contrib/field]]'s `pagetemplate`
+hook ought to provide the same functionality. However, `template`
+doesn't run `pagetemplate` hooks; a more general version of this
+plugin would be to have a variant of `template` that runs `pagetemplate`
+hooks (probably easiest to just patch `template` to implement a
+second directive, or have a special parameter `run_hooks="yes"`,
+or something).

So I don't understand why one would need a run_hooks option. --[[KathrynAndersen]]

+>>> I did it that way basically because I needed the functionality ASAP, and I didn't want to step on anyone's toes, so I made them as separate plugins. If Joey wants to integrate the functionality into IkiWiki proper, I would be very happy, but I don't want to put pressure on him. --[[KathrynAndersen]]
