Parent and Child Categories

I know this might be really stupid, but I have a quick question about categories.

I know we can create links to sort by category, or list articles under a certain category. But, lets say that you have parent categories, how can you list all the articles under that parent category, INCLUDING the child categories within it?

Like lets say I have a parent category “Iframes” and then the child category under it is called“Downloadable Iframes”, how would I link it so I could list ALL the iframe articles, including the downloadable iframes articles? I got a bit confused on this aspect.

You’ll need a plugin (this functionality is planned, just not yet available).

Ah okay. Do you know what plug-in exactly? I was looking quite a while for one but I can’t seem to locate it D=
