From what I understand, no. One work-around for this may be to use an
IFRAME (not directly controlled or limited control), which would be much easier on the server than clearing the cache every night. The implementation I would suggest is to hard-code the HTML or set up certain qualifications and filters through which the data has to pass through.

I've read the meta-wiki information page on writing your own mediawiki extension but I have a question on behaviour.
If you write and extension does the tag (extension) get evaluated every time the article (page) is loaded or just once and then stored in the DB as is?
Is it's the latter, is it possible to have truly dynamic content using media wiki? By this I mean writing an extension that will generated (possibly) different content every time the article is requested.
I have content that is generated every day on my server and I would like to have it loaded into an article. I've written an extension that does this but it seems that the content is just loaded once, and then saved to the DB. I'd like to write something that went and *always* fetch the content dynamically off my site system (or whatnot).
Thanks,
