3) I don't believe I need the title for the item pages, as the item names
are all codes of the form RBxxx-yy where xxx and yy are numerics. How can I
output the page name forced to upper case? The current category page lists
the items as links using the title template [[{+p}|+]]. Essentially what I
want is toupper({p}) as it shouldn't be a link - I'm going to add all the
detail in the listing.
