Ahhh! So near .. and yet ...

What is the difference between "match" and "name" as conditionals? The 
conditionals page assumes a better knowledge of PHP and REGEX than I have 
(that is, close to zero).

As a follow-on question, is there any PmWiki markup that lets me manipulate 
page names, or is that to be done with custom markup?

In particular I would like to have a "comment backlink" markup that would 
take a page named:

         Main-Arizona-comments

and create a link to:

         Main.Arizona
