Instiki: how to disable views

Dear instiki users,

I am not sure if there is a better place to ask (please tell me if
there is).

On my instiki (0.9.1) pages I have links at the bottom that look like:

Views: Print |TeX |PDF

How can I disable the TeX/PDF button or add new ones?

The instiki.org wiki has few pages for asking questions and getting answers, such as the FAQ, Random Discussions, Bug Reports, etc.

You can't, right now. If you have pdftex and is running Textile, then they're forced on there. That is unless you just remove the links from app/views/wiki/page.rhtml.

It would be nice if instiki detected whether or not those features
were even available on the system it is running on and then removed
them if they don't work. They don't work, for example, on my system.

OK. I am a complete wiki novice, so I didn't dare to put such a small
affair on the instiki.org wiki. I'll think about it next time I run
into a problem.

OK, that worked fine. Thank you. I am thining of setting up a instiki
wiki for ConTeXt, an TeX macro package. So I can't show LaTeX output;
I have to show ConTeXt output. Until then I don't want to raise
questions about it.

Instiki does actually detect whether pdflatex is available on the system and removes the links if it is not. I'm not quite sure how Instiki could test if the latex installation is broken, though.
