body:

This is one of the many ways to create a [Query :ref](../../query/) object in
Lektor.  It creates a query at a specific path and alt.  This is an
alternative to accessing the children of the [root :ref](../root/) record
and will also include hidden pages.

## Example

```html+jinja
<ul>
{% for project in site.query('/projects') %}
  <li>{{ project.name }}: {{ project.year }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
```
