 The following re-write allows for multiple definitions of the
-same tag value in a template definition.  This, in turn, allows
-us to use TMPL_LOOPS in our template directives; all-be-it in a
+same tag value in a [[plugins/template]] definition.  This, in turn, allows
+us to use TMPL_LOOPS in our [[ikiwiki/directive/template]] directives; all-be-it in a
 rather limited way.

+by arranging the parameters into an array.  This array is passed to the
+`mktmpl_hash` and it creates a hash, suitable for passing into the
+HTML::Template directly.  The `proc_tmpl_hash` then walks the hash
+structure and processes the parameters.

 I would, personally, only use this feature for very basic loops
 and, although nested loops *might* be possible (with a little
 more tinkering) it think any attempt would be better served by
