Excellent.

This is a frequently requested feature, so I've just added a 
"list=normal" parameter to [:searchlist:] and [:pagelist:]
that allows an author to request only "normal" pages in the output
(i.e., excluding things such as RecentChanges, AllRecentChanges,
RecentUploads, GroupHeader, etc.).  If no list= parameter is
specified, the default is to display all pages.

Thus, for your application you could use:

   [:pagelist group=MyGroup fmt=dictindex list=normal:]

and you'd get all of the pages except headers, footers, recent changes, 
recent uploads, etc.

I'm not too fond of the names "list=" and "normal" for this option, but 
they're the best I could come up with at the moment.  I'll be very 
happy to hear if anyone has anything better.

A wiki administrator can also create custom options for "list="; i.e.,
an administrator could define "list=calendar" to return only those 
pagenames that match a calendar yyyy-mm-dd format:

   $SearchResults['calendar'][] = '/\\.\\d{4}-\\d\\d-\\d\\d$/';

and then:

   [:pagelist list=calendar:]

shows all of the calendar pages.

An administrator can also modify 'list=default' to change the set
of pages returned by default, and PmWiki provides 'list=all' to display
all pages if the default has been modified.

The list= parameter will appear in 2.0.devel14.
