### Instructions:
ikiwiki `underlays` directory. You should now have an `underlays/wmd/wmd.js` file as well as
some other javascript files and an images directory in the same place.
+> So, I wonder if I should add a copy of the WMD source to ikiwiki, or rely
+> on the user or distribution providing it. It does not seem to be packaged
+> for Debian yet. --[[Joey]]
+
Note that the WMD plugin does **not** handle directives. For this reason the normal `preview` button
remains. Some CSS to clean up the display of the live WMD preview would be good.

+> when I try it? Is it what's needed for the live preview? --[[Joey]]

Install the following patch and plugin file. Then enable the 'wmd' plugin.
