For example, since +this page links to [[features]], it can be considered to have something to +do with ikiwiki's features. If you want to put pages into a category, the +typical wiki way to do so is to create a "CategoryFoo" page and link pages +in the category to it. That is just another form of tagging. + +Sometimes you may want to tag a page without putting a visible link on it. +The [[meta_plugin|plugins/meta]] allows you to do so, like this: + + \\[[meta link=mytag]] + +One way to use these tags is to create a [[blog]] of pages that have a +particular set of tags. [[Plugins]] can be written to do anything else with +tags that you might desire. |
