Ikiwiki version: ikiwiki version 3.20160905~bpo8+1 running on Debian Jessie. I have a page with directives something like the following: \[[!edittemplate match="worklog/" template="templates/worklog.tmpl" silent="yes"]] \[[!inline pages="worklog/*" rootpage=worklog postformtext="Record worklog entry for {{$title}}" archive="no" show="0"]] The template `worklog.tmpl` looks something like this: Time: Title: MTIME: The form to create a worklog renders, and I can click the button. I get the right template. But the rendered template looks something like Time: 2016-09-18T04:57:54Z Title: MTIME: In other words: `` works, and no other `TMPL_VAR` directives do (that I have been able to find). They all seem to be blank. I have been doing some source diving and it looks as if they ought to exist, but nothing is ever rendered. My long-term goal is to make some custom template variables, but at this point I cannot even get the builtins working, other than `time`. I am using a bunch of other plugins like `getfield` and `field`, but I do not know if any of them are the culprit. Here is the list from my `ikiwiki.setup` file: add_plugins => [qw{goodstuff prettydate templatebody template edittemplate httpauth date attachment inline field getfield ymlfront listdirectives sqlite_search sidebar}], What am I doing wrong?
