The default, which gives the behaviour of the sidebar plugin, is
`global_sidebars => ["sidebar", "sidebar", "*"]`.
+*Remark: It would be more sensible to have a list of lists, as the following example, but I did not manage to do so because of [[this bug|bugs/structured_config_data_is_mangled]].*
+
+ global_sidebars => [
+ ["var1", "page1", "pagespec1"],
+ ["var2", "page2", "pagespec2"],
+ ]

# Improvements over sidebar plugin
* You can add several "sidebars" to your wiki. For example, to have a sidebar, a submeno that appear only in pages documentations, and a footer, your `global_sidebars` would be:
For example, the following command forces the `footer` sidebar to appear on the
current page.
- [[!sidebar var=footer]]
+ \[[!sidebar var=footer]]
The following command forces the `footer` sidebar to appaer, containing the
content given in argument.
- [[!sidebar var=footer content="TEST"]]
+ \[[!sidebar var=footer content="TEST"]]
# Which pages to render?
2. If the page contains the [[sidebar|ikiwiki/directive/sidebar]] directive with no `content` argument, the first rule for the considered template variable is applied, disregarding the pagespec.
3. If none of the above, the first rule having its pagespec patching the current page is applied.
4. If none of the above, the variable is left empty.
