Used on Pages panel

The Used on Pages panel lists the pages that embed a template, five at a time. It only counts pages that use the Markdown reference macro. A plain Markdown document macro does not appear here. A page also only shows up once it has been indexed.

Look at the Used on Pages section on the left, under Version history. This template is not used anywhere yet, so the panel says so.

What it does

Global settings → Indexing

-

Runs indexing on demand. The byline count, the Used on Pages panel and searches for markdown references all depend on pages being indexed.

There is no Markdown-specific settings t

-

Markdown adds a byline, search actions, a library browser, a Search panel and the two macros. Every setting above is a shared Capable setting.


#Worth knowing

  • The Used on Pages panel and the byline count both rely on indexed pages, and the panel only counts pages that use the reference macro. A plain document macro does not appear in it.
