+How about doing the index stuff only on the output side? (Or does the latter patch do it? I haven't tried them.) That is, render every `foo.type` for the rendered types (mdwn etc.) as `foo/index.html`, generating links to `foo/` instead of `foo.html`, but not earlier than the point where the .html as presently appended to the page name. Then you just flip a build time option on an existing wiki without any changes to that, and the pages appear elsewhere. The `index.type` files might be left out of this scheme, though (and the top-level one, of course, has to). --[[tuomov]]
