 # DESCRIPTION
 
 `ikiwiki` is a wiki compiler. It builds static html pages for a wiki, from
-`source` in the [[MarkDown]] language, and writes it out to `destination`.

   The default action when --setup is specified is to automatically generate
   wrappers for a wiki based on data in a config file, and rebuild the wiki.
-  If you also pass the --refresh option, ikiwiki will instead just refresh
-  the wiki described in the setup file.
 
   [[ikiwiki.setup]] is an example of such a config file.
 
+* --wrappers
+
+  If used with --setup --refresh, this makes it also update any configured
+  wrappers.
+
+* --aggregate
+
+  If the [[plugins/aggregate]] plugin is enabled, this makes ikiwiki poll
+  configured feeds and save new posts to the srcdir.
+
+  Note that to rebuild previously aggregated posts, use the --rebuild option
+  along with this one. --rebuild will also force feeds to be polled even if
+  they were polled recently.
+
+* --render file
+
+  Renders a single file, outputting the resulting html. Does not save state,
+  so this cannot be used for building whole wikis, but it is useful for
+  previewing an edited file at the command line. Generally used in conjunction
+  with --setup to load in a wiki's setup:
+
+	ikiwiki --setup ~/ikiwiki.setup --render foo.mdwn
+
+* --version
+
+  Print ikiwiki version number.
