It adds the following: + +If the `transient` plugin is loaded, `$srcdir/.ikiwiki/transient` is added +as an underlay. + +Pages with the default extension in the transient underlay are automatically +deleted if a page of the same name is created in the srcdir (or an underlay +closer to the srcdir in stacking order). + +`tag` enables `transient`, and if `tag_autocreate_commit` is set to 0 +(default 1), autocreated tags are written to the transient underlay. + +`autoindex` uses autofiles. It also enables `transient`, and if +`autoindex_commit` is set to 0 (default 1), autoindexes are written to +the transient underlay. + +autoindex ignores pages in the transient underlay when deciding whether +to generate an index. + +Not done yet: + +`remove` can't remove transient pages: this turns out to be harder than +I'd hoped, because I don't want to introduce a vulnerability in the +non-regular-file detection... + +Transient tags that don't match any pages aren't deleted: I'm not sure +that that's a good idea anyway, though. Similarly, transient autoindexes +of directories that become empty aren't deleted. + +Recent changes and aggregated files could conceivably go in the transient +underlay too. + +-------------------------- + +## An earlier version + I had a look at implementing this. It turns out to be harder than I thought to have purely in-memory pages (several plugins want to be able to access the source file as a file), but I did get this proof-of-concept branch
