[[!template id=gitbranch branch=GiuseppeBilotta/inlinestuff author="Giuseppe Bilotta"]]
I rearranged my patchset once again, to clearly identify the origin and
motivation of each patch, which is explained in the following.
In my ikiwiki-based website I have the following situation:
* `$config{usedirs}` is 1
* there are a number of subdirectories (A/, B/, C/, etc)
with pages under each of them (A/page1, A/page2, B/page3, etc)
* 'index pages' for each subdirectory: A.mdwn, B.mdwn, C.mdwn;
these are rather barebone, only contain an inline directive for their
respective subpages and become A/index.html, etc
* there is also the main index.mdwn, which inlines A.mdwn, B.mdwn, C.mdwn,
etc (i.e. the top-level index files are also inlined on the homepage)
With the upstream `inline` plugin, the feeds for A, B, C etc are located
in `A/index.atom`, `B/index.atom`, etc; their title is the wiki name and
their main link goes to the wiki homepage rather than to their
respective subdir (e.g. I would expect `A/index.atom` to have a link to
`http://website/A` but it actually points to `http://website/`).
This is due to them being generated from the main index page, and is
fixed by the first patch: ‘inline: base feed urls on included page
name’. As explained in the commit message for the patch itself, this is
a ‘forgotten part’ from a previous page vs destpage fix which has
already been included upstream.
> Applied. --[[Joey]]
>> Thanks.
The second patch, ‘inline: improve feed title and description
management’, aligns feed title and description management by introducing
a `title` option to complement `description`, and by basing the
description on the page description if the entry is missing. If no
description is provided by either the directive parameter or the page
metadata, we use a user-configurable default based on both the page
title and wiki name rather than hard-coding the wiki name as description.

The third patch, ‘inline: allow assigning an id to postform/feedlink’,
does just that. I don't currently use it, but it can be particularly
useful in the postform case for example for scriptable management of
multiple postforms in the same page.

>> Thanks.
In one of my wiki setups I had a terminating '/' in `$config{url}`. You
mention that it should not be present, but I have not seen this
requirement described anywhere. Rather than restricting the user input,
I propose a patch that prevents double slashes from appearing in links
created by `urlto()` by fixing the routine itself.
> If this is fixed I would rather not put the overhead of fixing it in

The inline plugin is also updated (in a separate patch) to use `urlto()`
rather than hand-coding the feed urls. You might want to keep this
change even if you discard the urlto patch.
