Instead of having files foo.html "in front of" foo/, I prefer to have 
foo/index.html. This patch allows that. Specifically, foo/index.type 
is translated to $links{'foo/'}, and bestlink looks for either "foo" or 
"foo/" when linking to pages. There are other miscellaneous changes that 
go with that:

1. change the `cgi_editpage` `@page_locs` code so that creating foo from 
   a/b/c prefers a/b/foo and then a/b/c/foo, but if creating foo from a/b/c/,
   then prefer a/b/c/foo. I'm not really sure why the original was doing what
   it did (why trim terminal `/` if no pages end in `/`?), so this part might
   break something.
2. tweak things so that index.rss and index.atom are generated if inlining 
   from 'foo/'
2. backlinks from "foo/bar" to "foo/" trim common prefixes as long as there 
   would be something left when the trimming is done (i.e. don't trim "foo/")
3. parentlinks for "foo/" are the same as for "foo", except one directory 
   higher
4. rewrite parentlinks so that bestlink is called at each level
5. basename("foo/") => basename("foo")
6. links to "foo/" are translated to "foo/index.html" rather than "foo/.html".
  (Links to "foo/" might be preferred, but that causes an infinite loop in 
  writefile, because apparently dirname("foo/") == "foo/" on my system for 
  reasons that aren't clear to me.)
7. pagetitle("foo/") => pagetitle("foo")
8. clip the final slash when matching a relative pagespec, even if there are
   no characters after it (otherwise inlining "./a" from "foo/" gets 
   translated to "foo//a")

In case whitespace gets garbled, I'm also leaving a copy of the patch on 
[my site](http://ikidev.betacantrips.com/patches/index.patch). It should apply 
cleanly to a freshly unpacked ikiwiki-1.42. You can also see it in action 
[here](http://ikidev.betacantrips.com/one/). --Ethan

I independently implemented a similar, but smaller patch.
(It's smaller because I only care about rendering; not CGI, for example.)
The key to this patch is that "A/B/C" is treated as equivalent
to "A/B/C/index".

Also note that an initial "index" is ignored.  I.e. a
page "A/B/index.html" is treated as "A/B".

How about doing the index stuff only on the output side? (Or does the latter patch do it? I haven't tried them.) That is, render every `foo.type` for the rendered types (mdwn etc.) as `foo/index.html`, generating links to `foo/` instead of `foo.html`, but not earlier than the point where the .html as presently appended to the page name. Then you just flip a build time option on an existing wiki without any changes to that, and the pages appear elsewhere. The `index.type` files might be left out of this scheme, though (and the top-level one, of course, has to). --[[tuomov]]

> Well, get around to wasting time on it after all, and [here's the patch](http://iki.fi/tuomov/use_dirs.diff). The `-use_dirs` option will cause everything to be rendered inside directories. There may still be some problems with it, that need looking into (it doesn't e.g. check for conflicts between foo/index.mdwn and foo.mdwn), but seems to work well enough for me... The patch also improves, I think, the parentlinks code a little, as it uses generic routines to actually find the target location now. The only places where the `use_dirs` option is used is `htmlpage`, in fact, although other specific kludges needed to be removed from other points in the code.

>> FWIW, [use_dirs.diff](http://iki.fi/tuomov/use_dirs.diff) applies cleanly, and works well for me. Given that it makes this behaviour optional, how about merging it? I have some follow-up patches which I'm sitting on for now. ;-) -- Ben

First pass over Tumov's patch -- which doesn't cleanly apply anymore, so
I'll attach an updated and modified version below. --[[Joey]]

* As we discussed in email, this will break handling of `foo/index.mdwn`
  pages. Needs to be changed to generate `foo/index/index.html` for such
  pages (though not for the toplevel `index`).

  >> Can someone elaborate on this? What's broken about it? Will pages

* This does make the resulting wikis much less browsable directly on the
  filesystem, since `dir` to `dir/index.html` conversion is only handled by web
  servers and so you end up browsing to a directory index all the time.
  Wouldn't it be better to make the links themselves include the index.html?
  (Although that would mean that [[bugs/broken_parentlinks]] would not be
  fixed en passant by this patch..)

* Some of the generated links are missing the trailing / , which is
  innefficient since it leads to a http redirect when clicking on that
  link. Seems to be limited to ".." links, and possibly only to
  parentlinks. (Already fixed it for "." links.)

      > The solution seems to be to add to `urlto` the following snippet,
      > which might also help with the next point. (Sorry, no updated patch
      > yet. Should be on my way out in the cold anyway...)

        if ( !length $to ) {
                return baseurl($from);
        }
 
      >> Indeed, this brings the number of abs2rels closer to par, as well
      >> as fixing the .. links. --[[Joey]]

* It calles abs2rel about 16% more often with the patch, which makes it
  a bit slower, since abs2rel is not very efficient. (This omits abs2rel
  calls that might be memoized away already.) This seems to be due to one
  extra abs2rel for the toplevel wiki page due to the nicely cleaned up code
  in `parentlinks` -- so I'm not really complaining.. Especially since the
  patch adds a new nice memoizable `urlto`.
* The rss page name generation code seems unnecesarily roundabout, I'm sure
  that can be cleaned up somehow, perhaps by making `htmlpage` more
  generic.

     > Something like `targetpage(basename, extension)`?

     >> Yes exactly. It might also be possible to remove htmlpage from the

  >> Yes, the aggregate plugin will save the files as foo.html in the
  >> sourcedir, and that will result in foo/index.html in the web site, same

* `img.pm` makes some assumptions about name of the page that will be
  linking to the image, which are probably broken.

* The changes to htmlpage's behavior probably call for the plugin
  interface version number to be changed.

Latest version of my patch... with most of the stuff that's been discussed, including `targetpage`.
Also available [here](http://iki.fi/tuomov/use_dirs-20070221.diff). (BTW, this posting, applying, and
updating of plain-old-diffs containing all the previous changes is starting to be painful. Reminds
me why I use darcs..) --[[tuomov]]
