For sections it can be handy when users can see more than the 10 default items.

For the website www.stervanzuidlimburg.be I had 20 teams so I wanted to display them all at once.

Instead of linking to the section I linked to this page adres instead and did specify limit=20. Limit=number of items to display.

Example

http://www.yoursite.com/
index.php?option=content
&task=category
&sectionid=2
&id=7
&Itemid=36
&limit=20
&limitstart=0
