DPL Example 015

Sometimes you want to show content from selected articles but you don´t want to show all of the contents. You may want to suppress images, certain parts of the text or you may want to ignore the category assignments which may be contsained in the transcluded text.

2. a category links
3. two interwiki language links

If you include the whole chapter via

  {{#dpl:
   |titlematch=%Tanz%
   |include=#%-1
   |table=,,last chapter
  }}

You will see all of that content and the article which contains the DPL statement will become part of the categories mentioned in the article - which is in most cases not what you want:

Content page	last chapter
United Republic of Tanzania	Some Text.de:Tansania xyz:Tanzania

  |tablerow=²{#replace:%%¦/\[\[Category:.*\]\]\s*/s¦¦}² 

or like

  |tablerow=²{#replace:%%¦/\[\[C?[a-z]+:.*\]\]\s*/¦}² 

to eliminate those portions of the text which you do not want to show.

Using the latter statement you will get the following output:
