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

This plugin allows testing a [[ikiwiki/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 [[ikiwiki/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 [[ikiwiki/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 [[ikiwiki/PageSpec]] that caused it to match.
