[Mediawiki-l] Mediawiki extension API

[Jamie Bliss]

the <iframe> tag is an HTML tag that acts like a frame, but within
another page. So you write an extension that parses the tag <daily>
and translates it into an <iframe> tag. (You can't have an iframe
directly because of security stuff. Imagine if trolls could embed
random pages in a wiki)

If you're really confused, I could probably write you a small sample.
