List Automation

TwikiClone has 'variable syntax' (perhaps the same thing as MoinMoin 'macros'?) for inserting generated content into pages. The list automation comes by way of the search function, which performs a search and formats the result. I've used this to create pages which automatically include lists of relevant nodes. Our 'Seattle Office' node has an automatically-updated list of folks who work in Seattle. Our OfficeLocations? list has a list of nodes which refer to office locations. This function is a little like MediaWiki's curly brace message inclusion feature, but richer, since the reference is updated on demand.
