Language switching
Adding [[fr:Cholestéatome]] on the English Cholesteatoma page will create a "Français" link in the left colum of that page leading to www.dr-pere.fr/entopedia/Cholestéatome on the French site.
Likewise, adding [[en:Cholesteatoma]] on www.dr-pere.fr/entopedia/Cholestéatome will create a link from the French to the English version at www.dr-pere.com/entopedia/Cholesteatoma
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

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>
