Create a list of articles belonging (or not belonging) to certain categories

You can specify AND, OR and NOT conditions for categories: multiple specifications are treated as AND, within one specification you can use the pipe symbol for OR.

Note that you must escape the pipe character when using DPL as a parser function. You can use ¦ instead of | or you can define a template which produces a pipe character.
