    Hi there!
    I´m trying to call this function on my page, since i want to show the sub-pages in post format, but it doesn´t seem to be working, it does nothing. Since I got this code from the Codex, I´m sure that the code is ok and I´m doing something wrong. The question is, should I call something else besides adding this to my page?

    <?php
	$mypages = get_pages( array( 'child_of' => $post->ID, 'sort_column' => 'post_date', 'sort_order' => 'desc' ) );

	foreach( $mypages as $page ) {
		$content = $page->post_content;
		if ( ! $content ) // Check for empty page
			continue;

		$content = apply_filters( 'the_content', $content );
	?>
		<h2><a href="<?php echo get_page_link( $page->ID ); ?>"><?php echo $page->post_title; ?></a></h2>
		<div class="entry"><?php echo $content; ?></div>
	<?php
	}
?>

    Thanks a lot!!

    Ok, I found this piece of code, which actually works! It is quite similar to the one I had above, but the other one didn´t work at all. So, Here I leave the right code below. What I need right now, is to show only the excerpt. Does anybody knows how to do this?

    <?php
			 $mypages = get_pages('child_of='.$wp_query->post->ID.'&sort_column=post_date&sort_order=desc');
			 $count = 0;
			 foreach($mypages as $page)
			 {
			  $content = $page->post_content;
			  if(!$content)
			   continue;
			  if($count >= 2)
			   break;
			  $count++;
			  $content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
			 ?>
			  <h2><a href="<?php echo get_page_link($page->ID) ?>"><?php echo $page->post_title ?></a></h2>
			  <div class="entry"><?php echo $content ?></div>
			 <?php
			 }
			?>

    Thanks!

    I think by replaceing $content = $page->post_content; with: $content = $page->post_excerpt; 🙂
