| Comment: | doc: a directory serves its index, and falls back to the tree
Fossil's own docs link directories with a trailing slash — index.wiki carries a variety of techniques — and those all 404'd: the doc route found no renderable extension, redirected to the file view, and the file view cannot serve a directory. A real page was sitting behind the error the whole time (www/caps/index.md). A directory now serves its index document, preferring the formats that render into the page, found with one listing rather than a probe per candidate. A directory with no index goes to the TREE view; only an actual file falls back to source. |
