This code is for Concrete5 v5.7+.

To embed the pagelist, first load the navigation helper:

$nh = Loader::helper('navigation');

Then we add the following, notice in this case we are filtering the results so that we show blog pages - i.e. pages which use the blog_page pagetype:

$pl = new \Concrete\Core\Page\PageList();
$pl->filterByPageTypeHandle('blog_page');
$pages = $pl->getResults();

Then we need a foreach loop to go through the results and actually write out pages:

foreach($pages as $page) {
    $title = $page->getCollectionName();
    $intro = htmlentities($page->getCollectionDescription());  
    $url = $nh->getCollectionURL($page);
    echo $title;
}

In this example, we are just writing out the title of each page.

Complete Pagelist Example

So our complete pagelist example looks like this:

$nh = Loader::helper('navigation');
$pl = new \Concrete\Core\Page\PageList();
$pl->filterByPageTypeHandle('blog_page');
$pages = $pl->getResults();

foreach($pages as $page) {
    $title = $page->getCollectionName();
    $intro = htmlentities($page->getCollectionDescription());  
    $url = $nh->getCollectionURL($page);
    echo $title;
}

Easy isn't it?

Of course, you can do much more.  Here are some of the filters available:

$pl->filterByPageTypeHandle('blog_page');
$pl->filterByPath('/recent-work', true);
$pl->filterByKeywords();

See more filters at /concrete/src/Page/PageList.php

Adjustments for v5.6+

For version 5.6 of Concrete5 you want to adjust the above code to have the following lines:

Loader::model('page_list');
$pl = new PageList();
$pages = $pl->get();
