DPL talk:Manual - DPL parameters: Controlling output volume
Hi, the manual says: "a text portion which is marked by special tags named "foo"", but there is not explanation how to put a marker tag foo in all the articles which appear in DPL listing. Janek Kozicki
10 lines above the manual refers to LabeledSectionTransclusion. Read that. Gero 08:32, 10 October 2007 (CEST)
Include and Template Parameters
What if a page includes a particular template or page more than once. Is there a way to specify the parameters of the nth call to said template? —Sledged (talk) 06:13, 10 October 2007 (CEST)
This sounds rather exotic. You can apply a regexp to the call parameters for filtering - and I guess that the n-th template invocation can be recognized by some difference in the parameters from the (n-1)th invocation ... Isn´t that enough?

- I'm not sure I understand how that'd work. Can you give an example? —Sledged (talk) 00:28, 24 October 2007 (CEST)
- If you call a template 10 or twenty times from an article: Why would you want to extract exactly the 10th invocation? I would assume that you are more interested in certain parameter constellations instead of the position of the template call ... Unless you give a convincing example I can´t see why we should count template invocations ..
- To pick a template call based on the argument values it uses the includematch statement can be used. Gero 23:57, 25 October 2007 (CEST)
- I wasn't actually saying that it should count template invocations. I was merely asking (in not so many words) "Does it count template invocations?" Going by your response, I'm guessing no.
- In most situations I probably wouldn't want the nth invocation of a template, unless I wanted to randomly select one of invocations for sampling or such. However, I could see wanting to get the first n invocations or the last i invocations.
- Also, without a means to select a specific template invocation, which one is selected if multiple ones exist? The first? The last? All? Randomized? Undefined? —Sledged (talk) 22:05, 8 November 2007 (CET)
include Parameter and Labeled Section Transclusion
Aside from it being integrated with DPL2, how much functionality has been added to DPL2's version of Labeled Section Transclusion? Is it possible to achieve everything that the include parameter does by nesting a {{#lst:}} call in the {{#dpl:}} call?
|format=,,\n¦²{#lst:%PAGE%¦%0[100]}²\n¦align=right¦%COUNT%\n,
Also, does either version of Labeled Section Transclusion interact with the <includeonly> and <noinclude> tags? —Sledged (talk) 20:17, 27 November 2007 (CET)
