[pmwiki-users] PageList vs WikiForm for multi-line variables

To my knowledge, this :ptv: is not multiline
(see http://pmichaud.com/pipermail/pmwiki-users/2006-September/033404.html)

It might be possible (not by me though) to rewrite the :ptv: regex to
get the result you are expecting (but, how to treat the last
occurence, when there is not anymore :ptv: ?)
