Check usage and version matrix.

The GoogleDocs4MW extension allows to embed Google Docs' spreadsheets on the wiki via the <googlespreadsheet> tag.

Supported parameters are width (500 by default), height (300 by default) and style (width:100% by default). Usage example with all the parameters: <googlespreadsheet width="600" height="200" style="width: 50%">Google Docs' key goes here</googlespreadsheet>

This extension was inspired by the Wikia extension with the same name, but this extension was written back when Wikia wasn't open source.

Note that to actually embed a spreadsheet, the spreadsheet needs to be published with Google's File > Publish to Web... option. It is not sufficient to just have a shareable link.
