 Additional PageSpec tests

 This plugin enhances the regular [[ikiwiki/PageSpec]] syntax with some
 additional tests that are documented [[here|ikiwiki/pagespec/po]].
 
+Automatic PO files update

+Committing changes to a "master" page:
+
+1. updates the POT file and the PO files for the supported languages

+created, and the PO files are checked into version control.

 OTHERLANGUAGES dependencies
 ---------------------------
 
-Pages using `OTHERLANGUAGES` must depend on any "master" and "slave"
-pages whose status is being displayed. It will trigger dependency

+Pages using `OTHERLANGUAGES` depend on any "master" and "slave" pages
+whose status is being displayed. It is supposed to trigger dependency
+loops, but no practical bugs were noticed yet.
 
 Should pages using the `OTHERLANGUAGES` template loop be declared as
 linking to the same page in other versions? To be rigorous, they
 should, but this may clutter the backlinks.

-Committing changes to a "master" page:

-1. updates the POT file and the PO files for the supported languages;
-   this is done in the `needsbuild` hook; **FIXME**: the updated PO
-   files must then be put under version control
+Use the `change` hook instead of `needsbuild`?
 
-2. triggers a refresh of the corresponding HTML slave pages: this is
-   achieved by making any "slave" page dependent on the corresponding
-   "master" page, in the `needsbuild` hook.
+### page titles
 
-**FIXME** Also, when the plugin has just been enabled, or when a page
-has just been declared as being translatable:
+Use nice page titles from meta plugin in links, as inline already does.

 A message-by-message interface could also be implemented at some
 point; a nice way to do offline translation work (without VCS access)
 still has to be offered, though.
