You can turn any page on this wiki into a weblog by inserting a
[[PreProcessorDirective]]. Like this:
- \\[[inline pages="blog/* !*/Discussion" show="10" rootpage="blog"]]
+ \[[inline pages="blog/* and !*/Discussion" show="10" rootpage="blog"]]
-Any pages that match the specified [[GlobList]] (in the example, any
+Any pages that match the specified [[PageSpec]] (in the example, any
[[SubPage]] of "blog") will be part of the blog, and the newest 10
-of them will appear in the page.
+of them will appear in the page. Note that if files that are not pages
+match the [[PageSpec]], they will be included in the feed using RSS
+enclosures, which is useful for podcasting.
The optional `rootpage` parameter tells the wiki that new posts to this blog
should default to being [[SubPage]]s of "blog", and enables a form at the
top of the blog that can be used to add new items.
-There is also an optional `rss` parameter that can control whether an RSS
-feed is generated. The default is to generate an RSS feed, if the wiki is
-globally configured to do so, but you can set `rss=no` to disable this.

If you want your blog to have an archive page listing every post ever made
to it, you can accomplish that like this:
- \\[[inline pages="blog/* !*/Discussion" archive="yes"]]
+ \[[inline pages="blog/* and !*/Discussion" archive="yes"]]
You can even create an automatically generated list of all the pages on the
wiki, with the most recently added at the top, like this:
- \\[[inline pages="* !*/Discussion" archive="yes"]]
+ \[[inline pages="* and !*/Discussion" archive="yes"]]
If you want to be able to add pages to a given blog feed by tagging them,
you can do that too. To tag a page, just make it link to a page or pages
-that represent its tags. Then use the special link() [[GlobList]] to match
+that represent its tags. Then use the special link() [[PageSpec]] to match
all pages that have a given tag:
- \\[[inline pages="link(life)"]]
+ \[[inline pages="link(life)"]]
Or include some tags and exclude others:
- \\[[inline pages="link(debian) !link(social)"]]
+ \[[inline pages="link(debian) and !link(social)"]]
