-Directives are similar to a [[ikiwiki/WikiLink]] in form, except they
-begin with `!` and may contain parameters. The general form is:
-
-	\[[!directive param="value" param="value"]]
-
-This gets expanded before the rest of the page is processed, and can be used
-to transform the page in various ways.
-
-The quotes around values can be omitted if the value is a simple word.
-Also, some directives may use parameters without values, for example:
-
-	\[[!tag foo]]
-
-A directive does not need to all be on one line, it can be
-wrapped to multiple lines if you like:
-	
-	\[[!directive foo="baldersnatch"
-	bar="supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" baz=11]]
-
-Also, multiple lines of *quoted* text can be used for a value.
-To allow quote marks inside the quoted text, delimit the block
-of text with triple-double-quotes or triple-single-quotes:
-
-	\[[!directive text="""
-	1. "foo"
-	2. "bar"
-	3. "baz"
-	""" othertext='''
-	1. 'quux'
-	2. "foo"
-	''']]
-
-If you want to put text with triple quotes into a parameter value, you can
-use perl-style here-doc syntax, even nesting it like this:
-
-	\[[!directive text=<<OUTER
-	[[!otherdirective <<INNER
-	inner text
-	INNER]]
-	outer text
-	OUTER]]
-
-ikiwiki also has an older syntax for directives, which requires a space in
-directives to distinguish them from [[wikilinks|ikiwiki/wikilink]]. This
-syntax has several disadvantages: it requires a space after directives with
-no parameters (such as `\[[pagecount ]]`), and it prohibits spaces in
-[[wikilinks|ikiwiki/wikilink]].  ikiwiki now provides the `!`-prefixed
-syntax shown above as default.  However, ikiwiki still supports wikis using
-the older syntax, if the `prefix_directives` option is disabled.
