Some more elaborate limits can be added to what matches using these functions:
* "`link(page)`" - match only pages that link to a given page (or glob)
+* "`tagged(tag)`" - match pages that are tagged or link to the given tag (or glob)
* "`backlink(page)`" - match only pages that a given page links to
* "`creation_month(month)`" - match only pages created on the given month
* "`creation_day(mday)`" - or day of the month
grouping. For example, to match pages in a blog that are tagged with either
of two tags, use:
- blog/* and (link(tag/foo) or link(tag/bar))
+ blog/* and (tagged(foo) or tagged(bar))
Note that page names in PageSpecs are matched against the absolute
filenames of the pages in the wiki, so a pagespec "foo" used on page
"a/b" will not match a page named "a/foo" or "a/b/foo". To match
relative to the directory of the page containing the pagespec, you can
use "./". For example, "./foo" on page "a/b" matches page "a/foo".

-## Old syntax
-
-The old PageSpec syntax was called a "GlobList", and worked differently in
-two ways:
-
-1. "and" and "or" were not used; any page matching any item from the list
- matched.
-2. If an item was prefixed with "`!`", then no page matching that item
- matched, even if it matched an earlier list item.
-
-For example, here is the old way to match all pages except for the SandBox
-and Discussion pages:
-
- * !SandBox !*/Discussion
-
-Using this old syntax is still supported. However, the old syntax is
-deprecated and will be removed at some point, and using the new syntax is
-recommended.
