Other special things in my templates and site:
-* a sidebar with \[[include pages="notes/\*" template=foo]] while notes.mdwn has
- a \[[include pages="notes/*"]] and uses the sidebar; removed it, doesn't change
+* a sidebar with \[[!include pages="notes/\*" template=foo]] while notes.mdwn has
+ a \[[!include pages="notes/*"]] and uses the sidebar; removed it, doesn't change
* a template (biblio.tmpl) calling the "img" plugin with a template parameter as the
image filename; removed it, doesn't change
* some strange games with tags whose page calls a "map" directive to show other tags
