Description: I would like to create a cookbook that would allow users to embed a "news" scroller of links to pages within the wiki, similar to the example seen at http://javascript.internet.com/text-effects/news-scroller.html(approve links)

Example of possible wiki code:

    (:scroll height= width= speed=:)
    [[Link1]]
    ->Description

    [[Link2]]
    ->Description
    ...
    ...
    (:scrollend:)

    (:scroll height= width= speed=:)
    (:pagelist link=Category.News count=10 order=-time:)
    (:scrollend:)

I'm just starting to dabble in PHP, and also working on creating another cookbook, so I'm posting the idea hear in hopes that others with more experience in PHP & PmWiki who may be interested in the feature can help develop the cookbook.

Any thoughts or suggestions for other improvements?
