[Mediawiki-l] Adding an RSS feed to a MediaWiki website

[John Bidder (Home Office)]

hi Christiaan & All

In mediawiki 1.5.8 the following code works to bring in an external RSS feed 
and display it in the main page, within a table.  It might work for you too.
{| style="width:100%"
| <rss>http://web2booklet.suprglu.com/feed/rss20/supr.xml|short|max=6</rss>
| style="vertical-align:top" | 
<rss>http://del.icio.us/rss/web2booklet|short|max=6</rss>
|}

The url for this is http://fullmeasure.co.uk/ComingOfAge/index.php/Main_Page

however on my mediawiki 1.5.6 (www.wikiville.org.uk) this code renders as

      short|max=6" class='external free' 
title="http://web2booklet.suprglu.com/feed/rss20/supr.xml|short|max=6" 
rel="nofollow">http://web2booklet.suprglu.com/feed/rss20/supr.xml|short|max=6</rss> 
<rss>http://del.icio.us/rss/web2booklet|short|max=6</rss>


Any tips fom everyone else in really simple 1,2,3, type format appreciated.

Thanks

John
