The DynamicPageList extension allows authors to use categories to automatically generate dynamic bullet lists of links to other wiki articles. This is an easy way to create a "Related Links" section in a wiki article. The lists are dynamic in that they are created each time an article loads and will automatically update depending on the configuration of this list. DP lists differ from SubPageLists or SP lists in that categories, not sub-directories, are used to populate the lists.
Here is a simple example of a DP list that displays This code...
<DynamicPageList> category = D2L count = 5 order = ascending addfirstcategorydate = true </DynamicPageList>
...generates this list
No pages meet these criteria.
