+## Combine inline and toggle
+
+Is it possible to combine the behaviour of toggle and inline? ie, have it present of list of 'headlines' which are created from seperate subpages which can be clicked to expand to the body of the inlined page. Thanks.

+## Documentation for parameter `template`?
+
+I would be especially interested in a list of variables which can be used in such a template.

+
+I have a page template with some structured information as parameters. For
+example `location="nowhere"` and `price="20"`. Is there a possibility to
+extract those information, i. e. access the parameters, to compose the item
+for the inline directive from these information? For example the line »Go
+to nowhere for 20 bugs.« is shown inlined.

+## meta parameters are not enough
+
+I think I have the same problem as Paule, as I want extra arbitary parameters in my template.
+
+This is what I am doing currently, which makes my skin crawl. In `wgts/foo.mdwn`
+I have resorted to using AUTHORURL as the location of this widgets icon:
+
+ [[!meta authorurl="/ico/aHR0cDovL2JvbmRpLm9tdHAub3JnL3dpZGdldHMvYmF0dGVyeQ==.png" ]]
+
+In templates I have a file called `wgtlist.tmpl`:
+
+ <div class="widget">
+ <TMPL_IF NAME="AUTHORURL">
+ <img src="<TMPL_VAR AUTHORURL>" />
+ </TMPL_IF>
+ <TMPL_IF NAME="PERMALINK">
+ <a href="<TMPL_VAR PERMALINK>"><TMPL_VAR TITLE></a><br />
+ <TMPL_ELSE>
+ <a href="<TMPL_VAR PAGEURL>"><TMPL_VAR TITLE></a><br />
+ </TMPL_IF>
+ Posted <TMPL_VAR CTIME>
+ </div>
+
+My index page has:
+
+ [[!inline pages="./wgts/*" show=5 feeds=no actions=no rootpage="wgts" archive="yes" template=wgtlist]]
+
+Else can you please suggest a smarter way of getting certain data out from pages for a inline index?

+## A different idea: smuggling hook routines in through %params.
+
+The part that fetches the inlined content is quite compact. It's just the if ($needcontent) {} chunk. Would a patch that accepts a perl sub smuggled through something like $params{inliner_} be accepted? If that param exists, call it instead of the current content of that chunk. Pass $page, %params, and $template. Receive $content, possibly seeing $template modified. The custom directives can add inliner_ to %params and call IkiWiki::preprocess_inline. I suppose IkiWiki::Plugin::inline could be modified to strip any *_ out of the directive's arguments to prevent any custom behavior from leaking into the inline directive.
+
+I'm about to try this for a CV/resume type of thing. I want only one element with a specific id out of the generated content (with a little post-processing). I don't need performance for my case.
+
+Update: Pretty much works. I need a way to skip sources, but inline shrinks the list of all pages *before* trying to form them. Next little bit...

+## Interaction of `show` and `feedshow`
+
+Reading the documentation I would think that `feedshow` does not
+influence `show`.
+
+ \[[!inline pages="./blog/*" archive=yes quick=yes feedshow=10 sort=title reverse=yes]]
+
+Only ten pages are listed in this example although `archive` is set to
+yes. Removing `feedshow=10` all matching pages are shown.
+
+Is that behaviour intended?
+
+> Is something going wrong because `quick="yes"` [[»turns off generation of any feeds«|inline]]? --[[PaulePanter]]
+
+--[[PaulePanter]]
+
+>> Bug was that if feedshow was specified without show it limited to it incorrectly. Fixed. --[[Joey]]
