+There are many parameters you can use with the `inline`
+directive. These are the commonly used ones:
 
 * `pages` - A [[PageSpec]] of the pages to inline.
 * `show` - Specify the maximum number of matching pages to inline.
   Default is 10, unless archiving, when the default is to show all.
   Set to 0 to show all matching pages.
+* `archive` - If set to "yes", only list page titles and some metadata, not
+  full contents.
+* `description` - Sets the description of the rss feed if one is generated.
+  Defaults to the name of the wiki.
 * `skip` - Specify a number of pages to skip displaying. Can be useful
   to produce a feed that only shows archived pages.
+* `postform` - Set to "yes" to enable a form to post new pages to a
+  [[blog]].
+* `postformtext` - Set to specify text that is displayed in a postform.
+* `rootpage` - Enable the postform, and allows controling where
+  newly posted pages should go, by specifiying the page that
+  they should be a [[SubPage]] of.

+Here are some less often needed parameters:
+
+* `actions` - If set to "yes" add links to the bottom of the inlined pages 
+  for editing and discussion (if they would be shown at the top of the page
+  itself).
 * `rss` - controls generation of an rss feed. If the wiki is configured to
   generate rss feeds by default, set to "no" to disable. If the wiki is
   configured to `allowrss`, set to "yes" to enable.
