DPL Example 003

back to list of examples

Create a table of articles based on template parameters, apply individual formatting to columns, add meta data

We show various template parameters. We add meta data (in this case the hit count). We format huge hit counts using a big font. We put a decimal point before the last three digits. Population is right justified and in small font. Populations with '133' occuring in the number get a red background color.

<dpl>
  category=African Union member states
  nottitlematch=Sudan
  addpagecounter=true
  includepage ={Infobox Country or territory}:area:population_estimate
