Example 2

This example for the use of DPL is based on a copy of articles from the English wikipedia.

First we create a small table with some figures (taken from template calls of the original pages). We also add some meta data on popularity (hit rates of the articles).

{{Sortable Tables}}
<DPL>
  category=African Union member states
  includepage={Infobox Country or territory} dpl
  mode=userformat
  addpagecounter=true
  listseparators=\n{|class=sortablewikitable id=123 \n!Country \n!Area \n!Population \n|#hits\n|-,\n|-\n|[[#%PAGE%|%PAGE%]]\n,\n|align=right|%COUNT%\n,\n|}
  secseparators=\n|
</DPL>

<javascript src="sorttable"/>

Country	Area	Population	#hits
Cameroon	475,442	16,323,000	%COUNT%
Nigeria	923,768	133,530,0001	%COUNT%
Somalia	637,657	8,228,000	%COUNT%
Sudan	2,505,813	36,992,490	%COUNT%

Note that the country names in the small table link to the corresponding entry in the big table. In the History column of the big table we define a small image to be used as a "..more.." symbol; in the column on Religion we use the default (..→) We cut off contents at a convenient size in both columns. The last column contains some significant figures for each country. Its contents is formated in a separate template which replaces the original template during the creation of the report.
