+
+  In setup mode, ikiwiki reads the config file, which is really a perl
+  program that can call ikiwiki internal functions. Uses of this are
+  various; the normal one is to automatically generate wrappers for a
+  wiki based on data in a config file.

+  ensure that any changes take effect.
+
+  [[ikiwiki.setup]] is an example of such a config file.
