PageLinks macro

This macro may be used to create a list of links to pages in the wiki. Pages may (or may not) exist for these links. A regular expression may be specified so that only links corresponding to a particular pattern are listed.

Usage

• [[PageLinks]] - List all of the page links in a wiki.

• [[PageLinks(regexp)]] - Lists only those links corresponding to a particular regular expression.

I use this to build menus of pages that I intend to write - alongside those that I have already written. More specifically I keep a list of academic papers. When I am editing my comments on a particular paper I want to categorise the paper into a particular field so I add a link of the form ["Topic: field"] to the paper.

I then have a page which lists all of the fields with the following on it:

• [[PageLinks(Topic:.*)]]

This gives me a list of topics (which I may or may not have created a page for yet.)

Used in conjunction with the macro/LinkedFrom.py macro this is a powerful way of managing links.
