Overview of the dynamic list example, identifying the various components in use.
Using This Component
This component has only one tab.
The list will show all tags associated with pages that match a query to dynamic list content. Each tag will be followed by the number of items associated with that tag. Tags can optionally be shown in a 'cloud', with the font size correlating to their frequency of use. Clicking the tag category will return a list of all associated items.
