Multi column lists

The Div col markup is used to create a multi-column list that automatically adjust its number of columns depending on screen widths.

Example:

{{Div col|colwidth=10em|rules=yes|gap=2em}}
* a
* b
* c
* d
* e
* f
* g
* h
{{Div col end}}

Result:

  • a
  • b
  • c
  • d
  • e
  • f
  • g
  • h

<HTML5video width="520" height="320" autoplay="true" loop="true">dragonfly</HTML5video>


<HTML5video type="youtube" width="400" height="300" autoplay="false">CBqevebIAME</HTML5video>

RSS

An RSS feed can be included on a page by the following syntax:

<rss max=4 highlight="BBC">http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml</rss>

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
Map test!
</googlemap>

Result:


Image galleries

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

Example:

<gallery>
20160610_124100_DSC04914.jpg
20160610_124123_DSC04915.jpg
20160610_124129_DSC04916.jpg
20160610_124141_DSC04917.jpg
20160610_124154_DSC04918.jpg
20160610_124541_DSC04920.jpg
</gallery>

Result:
