[edit] Description

This is an choose-the-text tag... It's the continuity of the Extension:NumerAlpha which counts how many tags there are in the source... Well this one chose one text from two. If the tag is not even... It chooses the text1 if it is... it chooses the text2.

[edit] License

License not specified... you can use it, modify it, distribute it, etc.

[edit] Status

experimental

[edit] Why this extension?

Well I use it to list characters so the pictures can be one on the left, the other on the right... etc. You can reset it using the parameter reset, and restart the count with the parameter begin

[edit] usage

example: from one model I use...

{{#tag:alt
|
|text1="
<table width='100%' cellspacing='3px;' border='0'>
<tr>
<td width='15px' style='border:1px solid #000; background:#AAA;'>$nbsp;
</td><td style='border:1px solid #000; background:#CCC;'>{{{1|personnages}}}
</td></tr><tr><td colspan='2' style='border:1px solid #000; background:#EEE; text-align:justify'>
[[file:{{{name|no_pic}}}.jpg|thumb|right]]{{{2|description}}}
</td></tr></table>"
|text2="
<table width='100%' cellspacing='5px;' border='0'>
<tr>
<td style='border:1px solid #000; background:#CCC;'>{{{1|personnages}}}
</td><td width='15px' style='border:1px solid #000; background:#AAA;'>
</td></tr><tr><td colspan='2' style='border:1px solid #000; background:#EEE; text-align:justify'>
[[file:{{{name|no_pic}}}.jpg|thumb|right]]{{{2|description}}}
</td></tr></table>"
}}

You can install it by

• copy it into your extensions directory
• and add the inclusion in your [localsettings.php] file. → require_once("$IP/extensions/Alternate.php");

<?php
