When the wiki stores lists of pages, such as pages that are locked or pages
whose commit emails you want subscribe to, it uses a GlobList.

This is a list of page names, separated by white space. The "glob" bit is
that as well as full page names, it can contain glob patterns. "`*`" stands
in for any part of the page name, and "`?`" for any single letter of its
name. So if you wanted to list all the pages about tea, and any
[[SubPage]]s of the SandBox, but not including the SandBox itself:

	*tea* SandBox/*

You can also prefix an item in the list with "`!`" to skip matching any
pages that match it. So if you want to specify all pages except for
Discussion pages and the SandBox:

	* !SandBox !*/Discussion

It's also possible to match pages that link to a given page, by writing
"link(page)" in a globlist. Or, match pages that a given page links to, by
writing "backlink(page)".

* Patch from Dr. Zini to add link() and backlink() to globlists. This allows for some handy stuff like: - Using links as a kind of tag; creating blog pages that list all pages containing a given tag/link or not containing some other tag. - Subscribing to mail notifications whenever a change is made to a page that is a backlink of page foo. Ie, "Please notify me of changes in all pages that link to my home page in the wiki" - Locking any pages that are linked to from a particular page, so that lists of locks can be exposed in the wiki. 2006-06-02 03:17:26 +02:00
