Values in a wiki page

The following example shows the values of a wiki page with csv extension.

1. Create the page. In this wiki, we created the page Manual:Extension/External Data/example components.csv. It contains comma-separated values:

   component,type,weight
   Valve,mechanical,1.2
   Sensor,electronic,0.3
   Pump,mechanical,4.5
   

2. On another wiki page, insert this parser function #for_external_table

   {{#for_external_table:<nowiki/>
   * {{{component}}} – {{{type}}}, {{{weight}}} kg
   | source=web
   | url={{fullurl:Manual:Extension/External Data/example components.csv|action=raw}}
   | format=csv
   | data=component=component, type=type, weight=weight
   }}
   

The output is:

• Valve – mechanical, 1.2 kg
• Sensor – electronic, 0.3 kg
• Pump – mechanical, 4.5 kg
