 * This rehashes issues brought up in other threads, but I’m posting this to make
   the issue clear and concise.
 * It would be very nice if WP template tags on Pages would be parsed. This would
   allow people to make pages of links based on the links in their WP links manager
   and to create archive pages, as well as various other pages.
 * There is a plugin that will let PHP be executed in posts, but I think this is
   overkill. Parsing only WP template tags only on posts would boost the functionality
   and usefulness of the “Pages” feature greatly.

 * Can you clarify which template tags you are referring to? While I was developing
   my WP Lists plugin, I too thought that the RunPHP was overkill and I wrote my
   own little parser which interprets custom HTML tags into executable code. For
   example:
 * `<list id="#" showlinks="true" />`
