The function you are looking for is in scripts/markupexpr.php and is called
MarkupExpression().

You would use it like this (note that you do not include the curly braces --
just the parentheses):

    $mymarkup= '(plist groups=* -Site*.* sep=\n)';
    $tmp = MarkupExpression($pagename, '(' . $e . ')');

Hope that helps.
