Labels List Macro

Add the Labels List macro to a page to create a directory of all the labels used in a space. People can then click a label to see a list of all pages with that label. 

This macro is great for providing an alternative way of navigating the content of a space, especially if you use Confluence for process, procedure, or other documentation.
