* e
* f
* g

{{Div col end}}

Google News feeds are a bit more tricky, as the summaries parts render HTML tags instead of descriptions. These descriptions can be removed by specifying a Google-feed template in the RSS tag:

<rss max=4 template="Google-feed">http://news.google.com/news?pz=1&cf=all&ned=us&hl=en&as_scoring=r&as_maxm=20&q=allintitle%3A+munich&as_qdr=a&as_drrb=q&as_mind=26&as_minm=9&cf=all&as_maxd=26&output=rss</rss>

Failed to load RSS feed from http://news.google.com/news?pz=1&cf=all&ned=us&hl=en&as_scoring=r&as_maxm=20&q=allintitle%3A+munich&as_qdr=a&as_drrb=q&as_mind=26&as_minm=9&cf=all&as_maxd=26&output=rss: Error parsing XML for RSS

For brevity the above feeds are set to maximum 4 articles by:

max=4

Configure as required. More details of configuration options at at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:RSS

Google Maps

Google Maps can be included on a page by clicking on the map symbol to generate the markup.

Example:

<googlemap version="0.9" lat="48.150514" lon="11.545212" zoom="18" style="width:90%">
48.150321, 11.545233

</googlemap>

Image galleries

Lightbox style galleries of uploaded images can easily be created using the <gallery>...</gallery> markup:

Example:
