hook(type => "pagetemplate", id => "foo", call => \&pagetemplate);
-Each time a page (or part of a blog page, or an rss feed) is rendered, a
-[[template|templates]] is filled out. This hook allows modifying that
-template. The function is passed named parameters. The "page" and
-"destpage" parameters are the same as for a preprocess hook. The "template"
-parameter is a `HTML::Template` object that is the template that will be
-used to generate the page. The function can manipulate that template
-object.
+[[Templates]] are filled out for many different things in ikiwiki,
+like generating a page, or part of a blog page, or an rss feed, or a cgi.
+This hook allows modifying those templates. The function is passed named
+parameters. The "page" and "destpage" parameters are the same as for a
+preprocess hook. The "template" parameter is a `HTML::Template` object that
+is the template that will be used to generate the page. The function can
+manipulate that template object.
The most common thing to do is probably to call $template->param() to add
a new custom parameter to the template.
To import the ikiwiki plugin interface:
- use IkiWiki;
+ use IkiWiki '1.00';
This will import several variables and functions into your plugin's
namespace. These variables and functions are the ones most plugins need,
