Package: ikiwiki Version: 2.41 Severity: wishlist It would be great if [[foo]] would refer to foo/index.html when foo.html doesn't exist. At the moment, I have to write the messy [[foo|foo/index]] for a link that I would have thought to be fairly common. Furthermore, it would be great if [[some text|foo]] would also refer to foo/index.html when foo.html doesn't exist, but I hope implementing the first will give me the second too.
Here's a longer rationale: basically, I'm not comfortable with the two mechanisms that ikiwiki offers at the moment: - By default, you generate foo.mwdn and then you can put other documents in foo/. While foo.html and foo/* are related, they are in different hierarchies. This doesn't seem intuitive to me and is certainly not how the web normally works, where you usually have foo/ with an index.html page and other files in the directory. (I realize that wikis may be different to other web sites in this regard). - You can choose usedirs to get around this problem partially: foo.mdwn will end up as foo/index.html, which is what I'd expect. But this has 2 disadvantages from my POV: 1) in the source of my web site, the file is still outside of the directory and 2) all other files within foo become directories, which I find messy. Basically, all I want is: foo/index.mdwn and other .mdwn files within foo/. And this mostly works, with the exception that links to foo/index are pretty messy: [[foo|foo/index]] Which leads me to my request: please have [[foo]] link to foo/index.mdwn when foo.mdwn doesn't exist.
