I'd like to add to my previous reply.
I think it's a bug in the behaviour of pagelist that it returns everything
when there is a syntax error. This is very time consuming. A few times
I've come across "(:pagelist:)" on pages, which lists *every* page. This
results in a large page that takes a long time to render it. Actually, if
a bad person inserted (:pagelist:) into the group header at pmwiki.org,
the site would probably grind to a crawl.
I think that when there's a syntax error, as in the example above, the
result should be just the literal directive. (Or a warning etc)
