[pmwiki-devel] how to access MatchCount from pagelist

[Hans]

I wonder how to access $MatchCount from  pagelist in php.
I like to come up with  a better way to construct ranges for the
pagelist count= parameter (count=from..to) in order to develop a n
efficient breakpagelist (pagelist broken into chunks and custom links
to navigate the subpages).

Can it be done in one use of pagelist? Do I need to have a  pagelist
first to generate a pagelist count, which then can be used to
generate the from..to range ?

Thanks,
Hans
