The PageTools extension provides parser functions to retrieve/set page information.

Usage

• {{#pageincategory: 'category' }}

returns 'true' if the current page is categorised with 'category'

• {{#pagenumcategories:}}

returns the number of categories found for the current page.

• {{#pagecategory: 'index' }}

returns the full name of the category at the given index number from the list of categories of the current page. Indexes start at 0.
