+* `id` - Set to specify the value of the HTML `id` attribute for the
+ feed links or the post form. Useful if you have multiple forms in the
+ same page.
* `template` - Specifies the template to fill out to display each inlined
page. By default the `inlinepage` template is used, while
the `archivepage` template is used for archives. Set this parameter to
use some other, custom template, such as the `titlepage` template that

your custom template does not include the page content.
* `raw` - Rather than the default behavior of creating a blog,
if raw is set to "yes", the page will be included raw, without additional
markup around it, as if it were a literal part of the source of the
inlining page.
-* `sort` - Controls how inlined pages are sorted. The default, "age" is to

* `reverse` - If set to "yes", causes the sort order to be reversed.

the rss/atom feeds. The default is the same as the `show` value above.

in the blog. The format string is passed to the strftime(3) function.
* `feedpages` - A [[PageSpec]] of inlined pages to include in the rss/atom
For example, set "feedfile=feed" to cause it to generate `page/feed.atom`
and/or `page/feed.rss`. This option is not supported if the wiki is
configured not to use `usedirs`.
