[[template id=plugin name=testpagespec author="[[Joey]]"]] [[tag type/useful]]

This plugin allows testing a [[PageSpec]] to see if it matches a page, and to see the part that matches, or causes the match to fail.

Example uses:

\[[testpagespec pagespec="foopage and barpage" match="foopage"]]

This will print out something like "no match: barpage does not match foopage", highlighting which part of the [[PageSpec]] is causing the match to fail.

\[[testpagespec pagespec="foopage or !bar*" match="barpage"]]

This will print out something like "no match: bar* matches barpage", since the part of the [[PageSpec]] that fails is this negated match.

\[[testpagespec pagespec="foopage or barpage" match="barpage"]]

This will print out something like "match: barpage matches barpage", indicating the part of the [[PageSpec]] that did match.
