[pmwiki-users] hiding category links

[adam overton]

hi
is there currently a simple built-in way to have [[!categories]] not  
be displayed on the page, and instead to remain hidden?

i suppose i could probably do (:if false:)[[!categories]](:ifend:),  
but that seems awfully annoying to do over and over.

also - would it be safe to assume that it's generally faster to  
pagelist with link= than with $:ptv=x? i'm weighing possibly just  
using (:tags: x:) over [[!x]]
(i assume this b/c i think .pageindex doesn't yet catalog ptvs, right?)

thx
adam
