This will match/list articles that have 'Appl' in their name, excluding subpages; pages will be ordered by their name regardless of category, and the output will be shown in category style (i.e., organized alphabetically displaying category-style capital letters) because of the <code>mode</code> parameter. An <code>{{DPL|ordermethod}}</code> is required when <code>mode=category</code> is set (so DPL3 knows how to order the category listing style), and the ''titlewithoutnamespace'' value makes the first letter of the page title used as the category heading. Note that using ''title'' instead would cause use of the first letter of the namespace if it exists, and just the title if it doesn't (such as for pages in the ''Main'' namespace).
