Now that you have the new pagelist code written, I thought
of a new way to really confuse people. :)
What if the (:pagelist:) could use wiki formatting to
describe how to output the list? Maybe using tags like
this:
Loop for all pages:
(:pagelist:)
(:pagelistend:)
Only executed for the first (or last) page of a group:
(:pagelistgroup [last]:)
(:pagelistgroupend:)
Variables for current pagelist page:
{$$Name}} {$$Group} {$$Title} ...
To simulate some of the current formats:
-bygroup:
(:pagelist:)
(:pagelistgroup:)
{$$Group}}/
(:pagelistgroupend:)
->[[ {$$Group}.{$$Name} | {$$Name} ]]
(:pagelistend:)
-simple:
(:pagelist group=Group:)
* [[{$$Group}.{$$Name}]]
(:pagelistend:)
-group:
(:pagelist:)
(:pagelistgroup:)
* [[{$$Group}}]]
(:pagelistgroupend:)
(:pagelistend:)
-- These could easily then be enhanced like this:
-simple but use page title instead of Name:
(:pagelist:)
(:pagelistgroup:)
{$$Group}}/
(:pagelistgroupend:)
->[[ {$$Group}.{$$Name} | {$$Title} ]]
(:pagelistend:)
-Make a table for each group with Name, Title, author:
(:pagelist:)
(:pagelistgroup:)
{$$Group}}/
|| Page || Title || Author ||
(:pagelistgroupend:)
|| [[ {$$Group}.{$$Name} | {$$Name} ]] || {$$Title}} || {$$Author} ||
(:pagelistend:)
-Include an section from each page:
(could be nice for search results if a variable were
provided with line numbers of match)
(:pagelist:)
![[{$$Group}.{$$Name} | {$$Title} ]]
->(:include {$$Group}.{$$Name}#Begin#End:)
(:pagelistend:)
I realize that this might be too complicated for what
pmwiki was intended to be, but I thought that it might make
a nice optional addition. I'm not sure how to go about
implementing such a beast, but I figured I'd suggest it
anyway.
