1 The header of subpages always links to its "superpage", even if it doesn't
2 exist. I'm not sure if this is a feature or a bug, but I would certainly prefer
3 that superpages weren't mandatory.
5 For example, if you are in 'example/page.html', the header will be something
6 like 'wiki / example / page'. Now, if 'example.html' doesn't exist, you'll have
7 a dead link for every subpage.
11 This is a bug, but fixing it is very tricky. Consider what would happen if
12 example.mdwn were created: example/page.html and the rest of example/*
13 would need to be updated to change the parentlink from a bare work to a
14 link to the new page. Now if example.mdwn were removed again, they'd need
15 to be updated again. So example/* depends on example. But it's even more
16 tricky, because if example.mdwn is modified, we _don't_ want to rebuild
19 ikiwiki doesn't have a way to represent this dependency and can't get one
20 without a lot of new complex code being added.

26 For now the best thing to do is to make sure that you always create
27 example if you create example/foo. Which is probably a good idea anyway..
31 Note that this bug does not exist if the wiki is built with the "usedirs"
32 option, since in that case, the parent link will link to a subdirectory,
33 that will just be missing the index.html file, but still nicely usable.
38 <http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/translator/writing.html> does not exist.
40 <http://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/translator/writing/example.html>, in the
41 *parentlinks* line, *writing* links to the top-level *index* file. It should
42 rather not link anywhere at all. --[[tschwinge]]
