Although documentation <http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:DynamicPageList_%28Wikimedia%29#mode> claims, that mode=none returns plaintext, it actually returns link. There should be ability to return only plaintext names of pages. Suggesting new parameter "plaintext=yes/true" or "links=no/false".
Whats the usecase here (mostly out of curiosity more than anything else)? To be honest I'd rather wait for a user-configurable output mode rather then adding more and more output modes that are just slight variations.
Any situation where dpl lists are examples, not links. When you say user-configurable output mode, do you mean "I, the reader, set some kind of preference for how this will display" or do you mean "I, the editor/author, set some kind of out put template"?
I mean "I, the editor/author, set some kind of out put template".
Oh, man, where's the bug on that 'cuz I'm all over it... Most especially, I want values like {{{title|}}}, {{{date_added|}}}, {{{section0|}}}...

Have you looked at Extension:RSS which uses a template system for display?
>Have you looked at Extension:RSS which uses a template system for display? yes. I don't particularly like the way it does the template expansion though. Seems to be re-inventing the wheel in a slightly different way, instead of just using the methods provided by PPFrame.
It doesn't seem any kind of templating would exist ATM, so could at least the fix to really provide plaintext and not links be submitted, please? If you're afraid of backcompat, feel free to add new mode = raw and mode = rawinline. It should not be that difficult, since both modes already exist, just in linked form.
