+Is there a way to refer to all subpages of the current page, if the name of the
+current page is not known (i.e. the pagespec is used in a template)? The ./ syntax
+does not seem suitable for this, as
+
+> \[[!map pages="./*"]]
+
+also lists the current page and all its siblings.
+

+
+I am a little lost. I want to match the start page `/index.mdwn`. So I use
+
+ \[[!inline pages="/index"]]
+
+which does not work though. I also tried it in this Wiki. Just take a look at the end of the [[SandBox|sandbox]]. --[[PaulePanter]]

+I'd like to create a collapsable tree with a map, eg
+
+* top level item
+
+* * second level item1
+
+* * * content 1
+
+* * * content 2
+
+* * * content 3
+
+* * second level item2
+
+* * second level item3
+
+
+but I can't work out how to specify "all items at this level, and all directories at ../ and all the other directories to the root
+
+any ideas?
+
+> I don't think pagespecs currently support that. How would such a made-up

+> glob(../*/*)` to match all "directories" of the parent page, and so on up
+> to the root. --[[Joey]]
+
