+In my wiki I have a template page under `/templates` that looks like this:
+
+ \[[!inline
+ pages="<TMPL_VAR PAGE>/* and !<TMPL_VAR PAGE>/*/*"
+ show=0
+ template=titlepage
+ feeds=no
+ sort=title]]
+
+ \[[!trailitems
+ pages="<TMPL_VAR PAGE>/* and !<TMPL_VAR PAGE>/*/*"
+ sort=title]]
+
+I tested this page with many variations and by trial and error reached a conclusion that
+when using `trailitems` with a path that contains TMPL_VAR, or using the inline directive
+with `trail=yes` and a `pages` that contains TMPL_VAR, the trail plugin (or something else?)
+seems to not resolve the TMPL_VAR and ikiwiki fails to compile the wiki, and I get this:
+
+ syntax error in pagespec "<TMPL_VAR PAGE>/* and !<TMPL_VAR PAGE>/*/*"
+
+on the command line.
+
+Until I get feedback here I'll try to look at the source and see if I figure it out.
+My ikiwiki version: 3.20130904
+
+Huge thanks in advance!
