+But to make a wiki we need [[WikiLinks]]; they can't be escape-inserted or
+such since they are inline elements in the text.. But images work fine in
+rst's syntax.. what about using rst syntax for wikilinks as well?
+Is it possible to inject something into the parser to turn unmached links
+``WikiLink`_` into ikiwiki links? --ulrik

+Resolving WikiLinks in rst
+==========================
+
+I wanted to look into if we can hook into rst and influence how links are resolved.
+It turns out it is possible, and I have a working WIP for the rst plugin that does this.
+
+My work in progress for `/usr/lib/ikiwiki/plugins/rst` is here:
+[[todo/Resolve native reStructuredText links to ikiwiki pages]]
+
+It basically matches normal rst links just like ikiwiki would match a wikilink
+if it existed.
+I can't read perl so I haven't found out so much. The plugin successfully registers backlinks using
+`proxy.rpc('add_link', on_page, bestlink)` (since the destination page will be rebuilt to update),
+but the backlinks don't show up.
+
+I converted one of my pages to rst:
+
+Before: http://kaizer.se/wiki/kupfer-mdwn
+After: http://kaizer.se/wiki/kupfer-rst
+
+I need help on a couple of points
+
+* How to fix the backlinks with `add_link`?
+* How to generate NonExistingLinks using the plugin API?
+* Can we include this in ikiwiki's rst if it is not too hairy?
