 Someone was just asking for it and I had written these two plugins already some months ago,
 so I'm now publishing them here.

+I was asking about this in IRC the other day, but someone pointed me at the
+[[Varioki|todo/varioki_--_add_template_variables___40__with_closures_for_values__41___in_ikiwiki.setup]]
+plugin. It seems to me that it would be a better idea to have a way of defining
+template variables in general, rather than having to add a new plugin for every
+template variable somebody wants to use.

+Copyright and license values are not "template values", they are values
+tracked by the [[meta]] plugin, and that various code compares and uses to fill
+out the templates. Something like varioki cannot do that. --[[Joey]]

+Somewhat more detailed usage documentation would be appreciated. I tried to setup
+those plugins with a current ikiwiki release, i.e. 2.61, but they appeared to do
+nothing, really. Also, those example pages don't seem to use those plugins, even;
+they set "copyright" and "license" properties using ordinary [[meta]] tags. Maybe
+I'm missing something terribly obvious? --Peter
+> Only obvious if you read the source :-). You need to put a file named "copyright.html"
