the following Markup expression definition may get you some of the
way you want:


# show all ptvs as name: value; input argument: PageName or list of page names
$MarkupExpr['allptvs'] = 'MXDisplayAllPTVs($pagename, $args[0])';
function MXDisplayAllPTVs($pagename, $list) {
   global $PCache; 
   $pgout = array(); $out = array();
   $plist = (isset($list)) ? explode(',',$list) : array($pagename);
   foreach($plist as $pn) {
        $pn = MakePageName($pagename, $pn);
        $pgout[$pn][0] = "!!!![[$pn]]\n";
        PageTextVar($pn, '');
           foreach($PCache[$pn] as $key => $val) {
                if (substr($key,0,3)!="=p_")    continue;
                $pgout[$pn][] = "'''".substr($key,3)."''': ".$val."\\\\\n";
           }
           if (!isset($pgout[$pn][1])) { 
                unset($pgout[$pn]); 
                continue; 
           }
           sort($pgout[$pn]);
           $out[] = implode("\n",$pgout[$pn]);
        }
   return implode("\n",$out);
}

Then use in a page like
{(allptvs0} - displays all ptvs of the same page
{(allptvs PageName)} - displays all ptvs of page PageName
{(allptvs Page1,Page2,Page3)} - display all ptvs of Page1, all ptvs
of Page2, all ptvs of Page3. Use a list of pagenames, comma separated.
You can use (plist) or (pagelist) markup expressions from POwerTools
to generate csv page lists, for instance
{(allptvs (plist Test.*))} - show all ptvs of all pages in group Test.

Output is formatted like

!!!!Page1
'''ptv1''': value1
'''ptv2''': value2
etc.

Note there is no attempt made to defuse markup which may be present
as a ptv value, so there may be unforseen results.


If you want a pagelist showing pages with PTV 'name1', where the PTV
has to have some value, you can use pagelist markup like
(:pagelist $:name1=- :) (add other parameters as needed)
