Re: mobile wiki help question

Richard, these are simple to complex Pier based help questions, so I've re-sent your message below to the Magritte, Pier and related tools lists to see what assistance others can offer and or other help text about Pier Syntax people can offer.

Hi
Im a new user to the wikiserver and have a few questions Im hoping you can help with...

1) Ive used wikis before (though I know mobile wiki is more than that) and particularly liked the tagging features. 
* I cant seem to duplicate them here though.  I can tag a child page without a problem.  I tried using the ++ in the parent page to list the children of that page (which worked fine), and added the pipe and display=tags but only the word "children" is returned. What should I do to show the children and their tags? 
* I also cant figure out the ++ find feature - where and how do I enter the query term?
* Perhaps easier, is there somewhere I can see detailed examples of Pier syntax in use that I could learn from? A Google search of some of the syntax options just shows me the same syntax page you have up...

2) Im hoping to turn this into a task manager for my ipad, something like what is available at tiddlyspot (so I can tag pages as tasks, projects, etc... and pull up a list of them sorted by tag to see what I need to do).
* Is this something wikiserver can do?
* where would you suggest a newbie start reading to learn how to code this kind of option if this IS something mobile wiki can do?

Thanks for any help or direction you can offer on this....

+value:children|display=tags+ shows the tags per child. If you want
something like a tag cloud, there is a widget for that.

I don't know if you've seen that: <http://www.piercms.com/doc/syntax>.
