+
+When a directive that should be run during scan preprocessing is inside
+an if directive, it doesn't get called because the if preprocessing does
+not run during scan.
+
+I've written a simple [[patch]] to fix the issue, currently hosted on the
+scanif branch of my repository. The patch also passes the preview option
+back to the Ikiwiki::preprocess call, making sure that whatever is being
+reprocessed is done so in the same conditions as the original call.
