 Some more elaborate limits can be added to what matches using these functions:
 
-* "`link(page)`" - match only pages that link to a given page (or glob)
-* "`backlink(page)`" - match only pages that a given page links to
-* "`creation_month(month)`" - match only pages created on the given month
+* "`link(page)`" - matches only pages that link to a given page (or glob)

+  tags matched by a glob)
+* "`backlink(page)`" - matches only pages that a given page links to
+* "`creation_month(month)`" - matches only pages created on the given month
 * "`creation_day(mday)`" - or day of the month
 * "`creation_year(year)`" - or year
-* "`created_after(page)`" - match only pages created after the given page

 grouping. For example, to match pages in a blog that are tagged with either
 of two tags, use:
 
-       blog/* and (link(tag/foo) or link(tag/bar))
+       blog/* and (tagged(foo) or tagged(bar))
 
 Note that page names in PageSpecs are matched against the absolute
 filenames of the pages in the wiki, so a pagespec "foo" used on page
 "a/b" will not match a page named "a/foo" or "a/b/foo". To match
 relative to the directory of the page containing the pagespec, you can
 use "./". For example, "./foo" on page "a/b" matches page "a/foo".

-## Old syntax
-
-The old PageSpec syntax was called a "GlobList", and worked differently in
-two ways:
-
-1. "and" and "or" were not used; any page matching any item from the list
-   matched.
-2. If an item was prefixed with "`!`", then no page matching that item
-   matched, even if it matched an earlier list item.
-
-For example, here is the old way to match all pages except for the SandBox
-and Discussion pages:
-
-       * !SandBox !*/Discussion
-
-Using this old syntax is still supported. However, the old syntax is
-deprecated and will be removed at some point, and using the new syntax is
-recommended.
