+I was surprised that no plugin seems to be available to render plaintext pages;
+as I need one to implement the "[[todo/preview_changes]]" todo item,
+I quickly wrote it. Maybe this can be included in ikiwiki?
+
+This plugins changes `<`, `>` and `&` characters into the
+corresponding entities (`<`, `>`, `&`), and wraps its input inside
+a `<pre>`...`</pre>` tag. I'm not sure if this is sufficient.
