Line 6:
==Example==
This would list items in the ''File'' namespace, limited to a count of 3, formatted as a gallery using the <code>''Startall''</code> and <code>''Endall''</code> positions of the {{DPL|format}} syntax to specify gallery start and end. Note that when DPL3 parser function syntax is used to create a gallery, which uses tag syntax, the <code><</code> and <code>></code> characters must be escaped, so each is replaced by <code>«</code> and <code>»</code> respectively. The <code>''Start''</code> position in the syntax specifies the <code>%PAGE%</code> (in this case the file page) followed by a line break <code><nowiki>\n</nowiki></code> to populate the MediaWiki gallery syntax needed. The <code>''Start''</code> and <code>''End''</code> (empty, not required) parts of the syntax are applied to each result in the list, so the file page name is fetched for each image and put on a new line to complete the gallery statement. See [[mw:Help:Images#Gallery syntax|gallery syntax]] on MediaWiki Wiki for more information on gallery syntax.
