-I am sorry, but I am confused. Does this mean that I can use Ikiwiki features that translate to HTML in rst files? For example, when I use a \[[pagename]]-style link in a rst file, the page generated by Ikiwiki's rst plugin says <a href="./../pagename/">pagename</a> as text. The link is expanded correctly, but the result isn't interpreted as HTML. Is that what is supposed to happen? --Peter
