No	parameter	Default	Description
1	all	true	Display all descendants

If the page parameter is '/', then the macro will list all the current space's top-level pages i.e. those without parents. If the page parameter is a space key followed by a colon (e.g {children:page=DOC:}), then the top-level pages of that space will be listed.

4	first	none	Restrict the number of children displayed at the top level
5	style	none	Specify the style in which descendants are displayed
6	excerpt	false	Display the child pages' excerpts, if they exist
7	sort=creation sort=title sort=modification	recent	The 'sort' attribute is an optional attribute that allows you to configure how the children are sorted. Specify 'creation' to sort by content creation date, 'title' to sort alphabetically on title and 'modified' to sort of last modification date.
