@@ -8,3 +8,12 @@ I've written a simple [[patch]] to fix the issue, currently hosted on the
scanif branch of my repository. The patch also passes the preview option
back to the Ikiwiki::preprocess call, making sure that whatever is being
reprocessed is done so in the same conditions as the original call.
