This [[patch]] adds a space before the forward-slash in the the parent links. There is already a space after the slash. > I intentionally put the space after the slash and not before, because I > like how it looks that way. So I don't plan to apply this patch unless a > lot of people disagree with me or whatever. --[[Joey]] >> Couldn't we export what's put between the links to a variable? For instance, I might actually want to set it to ' : ' or '→'. --[[madduck]] >>> Yes, please. This seems to be something a lot of people want to customize. (I certainly do -- a forward slash only looks natural to Unix users) --[[sabr]] >> Joey, would I be right to summarize your position on this as "people who >> want to change the text of the templates should maintain their own version >> of the `.tmpl` files"? It's not clear to me how this todo item could be >> closed in a way acceptable to you, except perhaps as WONTFIX. --[[smcv]] Before: ikiwiki/ todo/ Add space before slash in parent links After: ikiwiki / todo / Add space before slash in parent links Patch: diff --git a/templates/misc.tmpl b/templates/misc.tmpl index 184920e..80e6d0b 100644 --- a/templates/misc.tmpl +++ b/templates/misc.tmpl @@ -15,7 +15,7 @@

---- It's almost implicit in some of the discussion above but this can be achieved locally if you fork your templates directory from ikiwiki's, with an ammendment such as

This is what I do on my site for example. -- [[Jon]] > You don't actually need to fork the whole directory, "only" `page.tmpl` - > put `templatedir => "/foo/templates"` in your setup file, copy `page.tmpl` > to that directory, and modify it there.
