ikiwiki-comment(1)

💬 ikiwiki-comment — ok so you wanna leave a comment

Bestie, this is a General Commands Manual page for ikiwiki-comment(1), and it does literally exactly one thing: it posts a comment. That's the whole vibe. Let's get into it. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

ikiwiki-comment — posts a comment 💬

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

ikiwiki-comment page.mdwn

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so here's the tea. ikiwiki-comment creates a comment for the specified wiki page file, and then it opens your editor so you can actually write the thing. that's it, that's the whole job. 👑

Once you're done editing, it is up to you to add the comment to whatever version control system is being used by the wiki, and to do any necessary pushing to publish it. no cap, this tool does not do that part for you. you're the main character here, bestie. 💅

Note that since ikiwiki-comment is not passed the configuration of the wiki it's acting on, it doesn't know what types of markup are available. 🙈

Instead, it always removes one level of extensions from the file, so when run on a page.mdwn file, it puts the comment in page/ ✨

The username field is set to the unix account name you're using. You may want to edit it to match the username you use elsewhere on the wiki. lowkey you probably do. 🫶
