+### `add_autofile($$$)`
+
+Sometimes you may want to add a file to the `srcdir` as a result of content
+of other pages. For example, [[plugins/tag]] pages can be automatically
+created as needed. This function can be used to do that. 
+
+The three parameters are the filename to create (relative to the `srcdir`),
+the name of the plugin, and a callback function. The callback will be
+called if it is appropriate to automatically add the file, and should then
+take care of creating it, and doing anything else it needs to (such as
+checking it into revision control). Note that the callback may not always
+be called. For example, if an automatically added file is deleted by the
+user, ikiwiki will avoid re-adding it again.
+
+This function needs to be called during the scan hook, or earlier in the
+build process, in order to add the file early enough for it to be built.
