{{ site.categories }} template tag

Have a {{ site.categories }} template tag that returns a list of categories and their associated pages, e.g., {{ site.categories['blog'] }} would return all pages with the category 'blog'.

You read my mind. This is part of the "making templates nicer" thing i was going to work on soon.

Cool. This would be handy to make little "most recent" boxes for different types of content, e.g., recent blog entries or tweets :)

This is done in githead / 0.4. site.categories is a dictionary with keys of the top level categories and values a list of the pages directly underneath them. That is, if you have a page with a category blog, that will be in the list categories['blog']. But the page with category blog/doodads will not.

Excellent, thanks!
