 Does the Perl version of this plugin still exist?  There appears to be no "rst.pm" in the current distribution; all there is is the python version. --Peter

+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
+
+> `raw_enabled` allows you to use the
+> [raw directive](http://docutils.sourceforge.net/docs/ref/rst/directives.html),
+> but this is not used by ikiwiki for wikilinks or anything else. 
+> That's why the [[plugin_page|plugins/rst]] has its note about 
+> issues with wikilinks and directives. You'd have to put those inside
+> raw directives yourself to avoid rst escaping their result. --[[Joey]]
+
+You can also create a raw "role" which is at least easier than raw directives.

+
+A role assigns meaning to interpreted text (for example :acronym:`ABC`) or :PEP:`8`. --ulrik [kaizer.se]
