[[ikiwiki/directive/linkmap]]s display the file name instead of the pagetitle, showing unsightly underscore escapes and underscores instead of blanks to users.
the attached [[!taglink patch]] fixes this; from its commit message:
because it can represent the '\"' dyad properly, and because it doesn't
need special-casing of newlines).
-see [[0001-display-the-pagetitle-in-linkmaps.patch]] for the patch.
+the output will look much better (at least in my wikis) with the "[[bugs/pagetitle function does not respect meta titles]]" issue fixed.
