Talk:Manual - DPL parameters: Controlling output format
I think you forgot to reference %REVISION% variable in mode=userformat here. Great job at documenting otherwise!!!

titlemaxlength and userformat
When using the mode = userformat the titlemaxlength is not respected.
If you have a title called 1234567890 and use the following:
mode = userformat listseparators = ,¶* %TITLE%, titlemaxlength = 5
You will not have the title cut as 12345...

Thank you for finding out. This is a slight inconsistency which will be removed in the next release. I guess it's preferrable to have the same behaviour of titlemaxlength throughout all modes. Gero 05:30, 15 June 2007 (CEST)
Is CATLIST working?
I tried to generate an index of the main namespace, each article with its category. The variables %CATLIST% or %CATNAMES% return nothing, but the articles do have categories assigned.
<DPL>
namespace=
mode = userformat
listseparators = {| class="prettytable"¶ !Category!!Page, ¶|-¶|%CATLIST% || [[%PAGE%]] ,,¶|}
</DPL>

CATLIST requires addcategories
For optimisation reasons the %CATLIST% and %CATNAMES% variables are only filled if you specify "addcategories=true". Gero 08:11, 11 July 2007 (CEST)

I tried
$wgDPL2Options['addcategories'] = array('default' => 'true', 'true', 'true');
and now it works. Thanks. -- Bjoern 14.Jul 00:40
