For some reason I'm not able to use the includepage widget to add standard html pages. For example
I’m confused

Inappropriate?I can't help with the Widget. However, I add pages to wikis all the time.
I use the simple IFRAME html tag. Example below.
<iframe src="http://zzz.com" height="yy" width="xx"></iframe>
Just add it using the HTML plugin. (or the Classic editor)
I’m hoping this helps.

Inappropriate?There are good answers to your question at the "old" forum: link.
In short: includePage is a PBwiki-specific function, works
- with regular wiki pages
- not with standard html pages like "http://www.google.com"
- not with special PBwiki pages like "http://YOURWIKI.pbwiki.com/tags.php?ptag=boy"
Your other issue about dynamically showing tagged pages is interesting but I have no 1-2-3 answer. Get inspired finding a solution that will fit you by having a look at these links: TagEditorButton, MulitiSearch or browse the old forum.

Inappropriate?The reason you can't directly include one page within another (IFrames like in Clif's example don't count, because they are considered separate pages) is actually because of browser security standards. If one page could call another page on a different domain, hackers could exploit that communication and steal information from you and send it elsewhere. That would be very, very bad.
Can you tell us what your particular use case is? Even with everything I said, you may still have some options. -
Inappropriate?Thanks for all of your replies. So far pbwiki is the best free wiki site on the Internet. I started using iFrame pages as a workaround, but it kind of looks weird and the pages end up opening links in the frame which can be confusing.
What I'm trying to do is create a dynamic page similar to this one:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category... which has a page with a listing of all the pages with the same category. It seems like it would be possible with the tags feature of pbwiki since it can automatically create a page using defined tags.
I know I can create the page manually, but it would be very handy to be able to do it dynamically. Maybe it can be a request for new feature?
I’m hopeful

Inappropriate?Hi Maurice,
Did you know that PBwiki generates pages listing all pages with a given tag? Thus, if I have some pages tagged "personal", I can see all pages tagged with it by going to:
[mywiki]/tags.php?ptag=personal
(replacing [mywiki] with the address of your wiki) -
Inappropriate?Thanks to everyone for their help. Unfortunately, I suppose the answer is it's not possible to do without some hacking using iframe, but it is doable.
For reference here's the way I did it, but I'm sure there are better or more elegant ways:
<iframe src="http://mywiki.pbwiki.com/tags.php?ptag=mytag" height="400" width="100%"></iframe>
