 This plugin is enabled by default. It sanitizes the html on pages it renders
 to avoid XSS attacks and the like.
 
 It excludes all html tags and attributes except for those that are
 whitelisted using the same lists as used by Mark Pilgrim's Universal Feed
 Parser, documented at <http://feedparser.org/docs/html-sanitization.html>.

 The web's security model is *fundamentally broken*; ikiwiki's html
 sanitisation is only a patch on the underlying gaping hole that is your web
 browser.
 
+Note that enabling or disabling the htmlscrubber plugin also affects some
+other HTML-related functionality, such as whether [[meta]] allows
+potentially unsafe HTML tags.
+
+The `htmlscrubber_skip` configuration setting can be used to skip scrubbing
+of some pages. Set it to a [[PageSpec]], such as "!*/Discussion", and pages
+matching that can have all the evil CSS, JavsScript, and unsafe html
+elements you like. One safe way to use this is to use [[lockedit]] to lock
+those pages, so only admins can edit them.
