Note that if files that are not pages +match the [[PageSpec]], they will be included in the feed using RSS +enclosures, which is useful for podcasting. + +The optional `rootpage` parameter tells the wiki that new posts to this +blog should default to being [[SubPages|SubPage]] of "blog", and enables a +form at the top of the blog that can be used to add new items. + +If you want your blog to have an archive page listing every post ever made +to it, you can accomplish that like this: + + \[[!inline pages="blog/* and !*/Discussion" archive="yes"]] + +You can even create an automatically generated list of all the pages on the +wiki, with the most recently added at the top, like this: + + \[[!inline pages="* and !*/Discussion" archive="yes"]] + +If you want to be able to add pages to a given blog feed by tagging them, +you can do that too. To tag a page, just make it link to a page or pages +that represent its tags.

These are the commonly used ones: + +* `pages` - A [[PageSpec]] of the pages to inline. +* `show` - Specify the maximum number of matching pages to inline. + Default is 10, unless archiving, when the default is to show all. + Set to 0 to show all matching pages. +* `archive` - If set to "yes", only list page titles and some metadata, not + full contents. +* `description` - Sets the description of the rss feed if one is generated. + Defaults to the name of the wiki. +* `skip` - Specify a number of pages to skip displaying. Can be useful + to produce a feed that only shows archived pages. +* `postform` - Set to "yes" to enable a form to post new pages to a + blog. +* `postformtext` - Set to specify text that is displayed in a postform. +* `rootpage` - Enable the postform, and allows controling where + newly posted pages should go, by specifiying the page that + they should be a [[SubPage]] of. + +Here are some less often needed parameters: + +* `actions` - If set to "yes" add links to the bottom of the inlined pages + for editing and discussion (if they would be shown at the top of the page + itself). +* `rss` - controls generation of an rss feed. If the wiki is configured to + generate rss feeds by default, set to "no" to disable. If the wiki is + configured to `allowrss`, set to "yes" to enable. +* `atom` - controls generation of an atom feed. If the wiki is configured to + generate atom feeds by default, set to "no" to disable. If the wiki is + configured to `allowatom`, set to "yes" to enable. +* `feeds` - controls generation of all types of feeds. Set to "no" to + disable generating any feeds. +* `emptyfeeds` - Set to "no" to disable generation of empty feeds. + Has no effect if `rootpage` or `postform` is set. +* `template` - Specifies the template to fill out to display each inlined + page. By default the `inlinepage` template is used, while + the `archivepage` template is used for archives. Set this parameter to + use some other, custom template, such as the `titlepage` template that + only shows post titles or the `microblog` template, optimised for + microblogging. Note that you should still set `archive=yes` if + your custom template does not include the page content. +* `raw` - Rather than the default behavior of creating a blog, + if raw is set to "yes", the page will be included raw, without additional + markup around it, as if it were a literal part of the source of the + inlining page. +* `sort` - Controls how inlined pages are sorted. The default, "age" is to + sort newest created pages first. Setting it to "title" will sort pages by + title, and "mtime" sorts most recently modified pages first. If + [[!cpan Sort::Naturally]] is installed, `sort` can be set to "title_natural" + to sort by title with numbers treated as such ("1 2 9 10 20" instead of + "1 10 2 20 9"). +* `reverse` - If set to "yes", causes the sort order to be reversed. +* `feedshow` - Specify the maximum number of matching pages to include in + the rss/atom feeds. The default is the same as the `show` value above. +* `feedonly` - Only generate the feed, do not display the pages inline on + the page. +* `quick` - Build archives in quick mode, without reading page contents for + metadata. By default, this also turns off generation of any feeds. +* `timeformat` - Use this to specify how to display the time or date for pages + in the blog. The format string is passed to the strftime(3) function. +* `feedpages` - A [[PageSpec]] of inlined pages to include in the rss/atom + feeds. The default is the same as the `pages` value above, and only pages + matched by that value are included, but some of those can be excluded by + specifying a tighter [[PageSpec]] here. +* `guid` - If a URI is given here (perhaps a UUID prefixed with `urn:uuid:`), + the Atom feed will have this as its ``. The default is to use the URL + of the page containing the `inline` directive. +* `feedfile` - Can be used to change the name of the file generated for the + feed. This is particularly useful if a page contains multiple feeds. + For example, set "feedfile=feed" to cause it to generate `page/feed.atom` + and/or `page/feed.rss`. This option is not supported if the wiki is + configured not to use `usedirs`. [[!meta robots="noindex, follow"]] + +A related directive is the [[ikiwiki/directive/edittemplate]] directive, which allows +default text for a new page to be specified.
