<nowiki></googlemap></nowiki></pre>
Placemarker icons are done separately above the path code
== Scalable maps ==
Modify markup on all pages containing maps to include <code>style="width:100%;max-width:600px;"</code>, e.g.:<br>
<nowiki><googlemap version="0.9" lat="-12.243119" lon="49.345264" type="satellite" zoom="16" controls="large" style="width:100%;max-width:600px;"></nowiki>
Use http://www.madacamp.com/Special:ReplaceText
Replace:
<nowiki><googlemap version="0.9" (.*)></nowiki>
with:
<nowiki><googlemap version="0.9" $1 style="width:100%;max-width:600px;"></nowiki>
Select 'Use regular expressions' and namespaces 'Main'.
Pages which already contain the string will thereafter have duplicate style declarations:
style="width:100%;max-width:600px;" style="width:100%;max-width:600px;"
Thereafter replace instances of:
style="width:100%;max-width:600px;" style="width:100%;max-width:600px;"
with:
style="width:100%;max-width:600px;"

== Adding RSS news feeds to pages ==
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) is allows importing summaries and corresponding links to news articles. For example, a Google [httphttps://news.google.com news search] for any given keyword or phrase can be imported. HOwever, Google does not include RSS feed URLs directly on their search result pages but it's not complicated to piece together a the relevant feed URLURLs. For example, along a search for the following examplephrase "madagascar lemurs" can be included on a page as follows:
<pre><rsstemplate="Google-feed" filterout="movie penguins">httphttps://news.google.com/news?pz=1&cf=all&ned=us&hl=en&q=%22madagascar+lemurs%22&cf=all&output=rss|short|date|max=20</rss></pre>
<rss template="Google-feed" filterout="movie penguins deprecated">https://news.google.com/news?pz=1&cf=all&ned=us&hl=en&q=%22madagascar+lemurs%22&cf=all&output=rss</rss>
