Wishlist: optionally use the syntax plugin automatically on source code files in the repository with recognized extensions or shebangs, and render them as though they consisted of an .mdwn page containing nothing but a single call to the syntax plugin with the file contents as the text argument and the recognized type as the type argument.

Together with the ability to have wiki-formatted comments, this would allow the use of ikiwiki for literate programming.

• I have started something along these lines see sourcehighlight. For some reason I started with source-highlight DavidBremner

• I wonder if this is similar to what you want: http://iki.u32.net/setup/Highlight_Code_Plugin/

The new highlight plugin is in ikiwiki core and supports source code files natively. done --Joey
