You can use categories or wikigroups as an "automatic trail" -- ?action=rss is able to build RSS feeds from a variety of criteria besides trails. For example, to get an RSS feed from all of the pages in the "XYZ" category: .../pmwiki.php?action=rss&link=Category.XYZ&order=-time For example, here's an RSS feed of all of the pages in the "Skins" category on pmwiki.org, sorted by last update: http://www.pmwiki.org/wiki?action=rss&link=Category.Skins&order=-time Pm _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
