subcategories/pages

I’m slowly working my way through your very detailed instructions, but now I am stuck.

This WP installation is all pages, no posts — something like a wiki. I’m hoping to put together indexes by category. Using your plugin and putting code on a dedicated page I can get category titles without a problem (as in your example, catlist name=mycategory, but with brackets). But I have categories with multiple subcategories, and I’d like to get a list that allows me to list the pages in the subcategories.

So something like this, which pages for individual characters are listed.:

Characters
Fictional
Susan Abbott
Margot Black
Jon Abernathy
Historical
20th Century
Eleanor Roosevelt
Harry Truman
19th Century
Arthur Garfield
Mary Putnam
Anthony Comstock
L. M. Alcott

I tried using the post_parent
Show only the children of the post with this ID. Default: None.

No luck thus far. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

But got nothing at all.
