-I guess the reason I never thought to write this is when I put a .txt file
-in ikiwiki, I'm happy enough to see it copied through unchanged.
-
-I guess the advantage of using this plugin is that you get the page wrapper
-around the preformatted text, and could even inline such a page.
-
-There is not currently a good way to turn off some processing steps for
-some page types. It's either all or nothing. The patch in
-[[todo/format_escape]] might allow a formatter to register its own special
-version of htmllink that didn't do anything, but would that be enough?

-[Here](http://www.gmcmanus.org/plaintext.pm) is an alternate approach.
-It encodes entities using a filter hook, before wikilinks are linkified.
-So wikilinks turn up as links.
-It also uses URI::Find to turn URIs into links.
-
-I'm not very familiar with Perl, so this code could be improved.

-I like this approach! It sidesteps the annoying problem, and it actually
-makes the .txt format genuinely wiki-like, by allowing wikilinks and
-preprocessor directices.
-
-The only thing I am not sure about is the conversion of external urls to
-hyperlinks. 
-
-Can you please add a copyright/license statemnt to the top of the plugin?
-If you do, I'll add it to ikiwiki. Thanks! --[[Joey]]
