For some reason, I find it hard to explain, but I will try:
Suppose you are editing a page called, say, 'index' and you create a
link to a new page [i.e., one that doesn't already exist].
When you follow the link, the newly created page has a link at the top
that points back to the original page. It looks like this:
backlinks: /index
Any backlinks in the parent page are inherited. So, if the new page
you created in the example above was called 'foo', and you were to
create a link to a new page in it, it would have this backlink line:
backlinks: /index/foo
Thus, you can create a sort of hierarchical structure of pages.
I can see that this might be a fairly murky and unhelpful explanation.
I think there must be a better account somewhere in the archives, when
someone made the original implementation in emacs-wiki.
