+       hook(type => "linkify", id => "foo", call => \&linkify);
+
+This hook is called to convert [[WikiLinks|WikiLink]] on the page into html
+links. The function is passed named parameters "page", "destpage", and
+"content". It should return the linkified content.  Present in IkiWiki 2.40

+Plugins that implement linkify must also implement a scan hook, that scans
+for the links on the page and adds them to `%links`.

+### scan

+       hook(type => "scan", id => "foo", call => \&scan);
+
+This hook is called early in the process of building the wiki, and is used
+as a first pass scan of the page, to collect metadata about the page. It's
+mostly used to scan the page for WikiLinks, and add them to `%links`.
+Present in IkiWiki 2.40 and later.

+The function is passed named parameters "page" and "content". Its return
+value is ignored.
