If you add <code>hiddencategories=exclude</code>, then no H3 sections would be created for hidden subcategories. Does this make more sense?

| Description: | DPL should suppress hidden categories from category displays, such as ordermethod=category,titlewithoutnamespace
|
| Extension / Version: | DPL / 1.8.8 |
| Type / Status: | Change Request / open |
Problem
Please provide an option to make DPL respect hidden categories. Any feature that would display a list of categories would omit the hidden ones. For example:
<dpl> ... ordermethod = category,titlewithoutnamespace showhiddencategories = false -- NEW KEYWORD </dpl>
Reply
Maybe I could add something like hiddencategories = include (=default) / exclude / only.
But I do not understand how the selection should work. If you select by a category then you should know beforehand if the cat is hidden or not .. If you do not select by a category you may or my not get pages that are assigned to hidden categories.
But probably you have im mind that it should be a display option only? In this case: what should one do with a page that is ONLY part of a hidden category? What contents should the built-in variables %CATNAMES% and %CATLIST% have?
I suggest that you create an example here and describe the desired behaviour in detail.
