Image galleries with DPL

This is an example of how to create image galleries from specific selections of images using DPL. The Resulting lists of articles selected by DPL are rendered through Template:DPLGallery which simply renders the image within a div with a title below it and CSS then does the layout and style for the gallery look and feel.

Example 1: All articles in Category:Caterpillars ordered by date

The following wikitext...

{{#dpl:category=Caterpillars|namespace=File|ordermethod=firstedit|order=descending|format=,²{DPLGallery¦%TITLE%}²,,}}

produces this gallery...
