WikiDB/Index
From TestWiki
For each category of item, this page contains an exhaustive list of available WikiDB features. Not all of these are documented elsewhere yet. I aim to ensure this page is always up-to-date with the latest features, even if the proper documentation doesn't appear until some time later.

[edit] Criteria operators
The following operators are available for use within the criteria attribute of the <repeat> tag. Note that, due to the restrictions on attribute values, you currently need to write > as > but I am working on a solution to this (which will probably result in a different way of defining criteria - see WikiDB/Repeat tag syntax).
