+   As a wiki compiler, ikiwiki builds a wiki from files in a source directory,
+   and outputs the files to a destination directory.  If you keep your wiki in
+   a version control system, the source directory will contain a working copy
+   checked out from the version control system.

 
    For the purposes of this tutorial, we'll set shell variables
    for these locations, and use those variables in the commands that follow.
