Hopefully it will be mergeable here? Here's a +screenshot of what the help page would look like, to give you an idea +of the results: + + + +--- + +I like the idea of admonitions. I've done something vaguely similar on my own site ([e.g.](https://jmtd.net/film/blade_runner/)), but I just +use `\[[!template` and put up with the verbosity.I like that `\[[!tip` is shorter than `\[[!template id=…`. If +I was being a total purist I'd argue that the correct change would be to make a syntax shortcut +for the template syntax, since functionally that's what `tip` is doing, and include the +admonition styles in either `style.css` or in every shipped theme. But I'm more of a pragmatist +and your current plugin actually exists and IkiWiki is starving for contributors (IMHO) +so I encourage maintainers to merge it. I will probably merge it into [opinionated ikiwiki](https://jmtd.net/log/opinionated_ikiwiki/) +in either case (which will at least mean there'll be another avenue for people to check it out) *— [[Jon]], 2020-08-07* + +> One quick tip/request, [[anarcat]]: If you could update the "master" branch in your IkiWiki +> fork to match the merge base for your branches, it would be easy to use Gitlab's "compare" +> feature in-browser to see a combined diff of your changes. *— [[Jon]], 2020-08-07* + +> > Thanks for your support and comments! :) I don't have the time to manage another extra branch on top of the stack I already have unfortunately. but it might be simpler for me in the future... I keep on hoping all patches get merged and that i don't need to (more officially) fork `master`, but it seems that's where I need to go myself... In the meantime you can see the list of patches I maintain in [[users/anarcat]] and [my maintenance log](https://anarc.at/services/wiki/). I hope that helps! -- [[anarcat]] + +> > Turns out I found the time. I merged all my active branches in the `master` branch on gitlab. not sure what you'd compare it against, but there, it's done. :) [[anarcat]] + +>>> Thanks for that!
