The additions you've made are quite nice.  You mind if the finished product has them available as stand-alone parser functions? —[[User:Sledged|Sledged]] ([[User talk:Sledged|talk]]) 00:05, 12 December 2007 (CET)

::Not at all. I´d be happy to see the results of mudularizing also in terms of easily accesible functional parts from the user´s perspective. As you may have seen I currently do not make significant changes - mostly error corrections. So there would not be much of a conflict if you made greater changes during the next, say, six weeks. Maybe afterwards we could put the sources into a public svn repository, see the discussion on my discussion page.

::Especially regarding section transclusion: Unfortunately "section", "chapter" and "paragraph" are not being consistently used in the source code and the doc´s. I recommend the following use:
 
:* A section is a specially labeled portion of wiki text. Sections may be nested and can extend across paragraphs.
 
:* A paragraph is a piece of text which belongs to a headline. A paragraph extends from its heading to the next heading of same level or to the end of the file; so paragraphs can contain headings and other (smaller) paragraphs.
 
:* The word "chapter" is used as a generalization for both concepts.
 
 
 
::Regarding the current access to transclusion functionality: the '[[title]]' parameter allows quite a short notation to transclude a chapter, e.g. <nowiki>{{#dpl:title=myDocument|include=mySection}}</nowiki>. The reason is, that "title=" switches off standard output completely. I wonder if a dedicated, separate parser function could offer a shorter syntax.

Description: Using the include parameter returns all invocations of a specified template
Extension / Version: DPL   /   1.6.0
Type / Status: Bug/Change Request   /   open

Problem

So in continuation of this discussion, I've come across a situation where there are a number of pages that have multiple calls to the same template, and I need to get the first (and only the first) invocation of a template call. Right now DPL2 returns all invocations of a specified template. So what started as a question of curiosity now becomes a request/bug. —Sledged (talk) 22:31, 11 December 2007 (CET)
