Extension talk:Pubmed

Could this be made into a parserfunction call instead of a tag call? i.e. ? This is because I'm trying to call it like this:

which dosn't work (for known reasons).

It's an excellent piece of work otherwise!

 * Dmb - try using it with the tag parser hook like this:


 * Or try Extension:PubmedParser. -- Bovender 07:24, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Good tip about the tag parser hook! I was trying to use within a template. All my citations were rendering as the same list of 4 PMIDs, which I finally figured out were coming from literally passing "" as the PMID . Switching to  worked perfectly. --Quantum7 00:11, 25 January 2012 (UTC)

Just installed it on MW 1.15.1
Using PHP 5.2.8 (cgi-fcgi) & MYSQL 4.1.22-max-log. So far so good. Thanks for the awesome extension!!

Pubmed SOAP Web Service Isses
This extension may have the same issue I found with the Biblio extension and described here. Recent changes in the data delivered via the Pubmed SOAP Web Service cause the PHP XML Parser to fail if the character set is not correctly configured. This Nusoap included in this extension distribution may need to be modified. It failed the same way Biblio did when I tested. Both the PHP executabe and Nusoap are effected.

Overlay makes the page unreadable for me
When I open this page in Firefox 13.0.1 on Mac OS X 10.6.8, that green overlay covers all the text, making both of them unreadable. → screenshot of the page

Extra whitespace
The HTML comments in these lines seem to be adding empty  elements before and after the references.

$output = "\n"; $output .= $out; $output .= "\n";
