Usage

{{dpl top
| col = table column header code (required)
| class = table class(es); default = terraria sortable lined
| style = table style; default = none
}}
{{dpl inner
| cat = a category to be listed 
| format = a template name to be used for formatting this list; default = /dpl
}}
{{dpl inner
| cat = a category to be listed 
| format = a template name to be used for formatting this list; default = /dpl
}}
... (more optional {{dpl inner}} calls for listing more categories in the same table)
{{dpl bottom}}

Parameter details

col

Required: The table's column headers. Use the same format as you would when declaring column headers in a manual table, eg. ! column1 !! column2

class

Optional: The table's classes. Enter bare, without quotes.

cat

Required: A category to list.

template

Optional: The template from which values will be taken. This will usually be an infobox, like item infobox. Enter the bare template name without "[[Template:". This template must exist on each page in the category being listed. Default = item infobox.

format

Optional: A template that determines how rows will be formatted. This will not usually be in the Template: namespace, but rather a subpage of the current page, eg. "/dpl" (enter the template's page name without quotes). The template should contain the table code for a single row, and this row code will be repeated for each page in the category. Within this template, use {{{param}}} to display a value from the article's infobox. See Swords/dpl for an example. Default = /dpl.
