 * I need to show category page with list of pages (not post) in that category (
   i got a plugin for asigning categories to pages), but i do not know how to do
   loop for pages.
    this does not work: if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()):
   the_post();
 * and something like have_pages afaik does not exist

 * WordPress doesn’t allow Categories for Pages.
 * Are you using some kind of plugin?

 * yes I do, it simpy uses posts Categories (the same table structure). But it does
   has only function to show titles of pages from that category. But i guess it 
   does not matter, it may be a question of how to show them for pages made in some
   month (archive) etc., the problem i got is about looping. The only function WP
   got for pages is probably wp_list_pages(), what is function to show links to 
   pages, but not their excerpts.

 * If you want to put a loop in a page template, you need to call query_posts() 
   to select the posts that you want to loop through first.
