The Mercurial historyurl in the example ikiwiki.setup file creates a link to the repo's summary page. It should take you to the history page for the file, like the example Git historyurl does. The current historyurl is: #historyurl => "http://localhost:8000/", # hg serve'd local repository A link to the history page for the file would be: #historyurl => "http://localhost:8000/log/tip/\[[file]]", # hg serve'd local repository *The backslash in the code should be removed.* > To escape a link, use `\\[[link]]`. Example: \[[link]] --[[Joey]] > ([[done]], BTW) This creates links to the hgweb page which is equivalent to the Git file history page.
