    Any wiki page containing one or more URLs for MP3 or Realmedia files can also be used as a playlist for your media player. These links can be in pages containing other content such as text and images. URLs are added to the playlist in the order they appear on the page.
    ----
    URLs that end with the following extensions are recognized automatically when included in a wiki page:
     
    '''MP3:''' .mp3, .m3u, .pls, .xpl,,
    '''Realmedia:''' .ra, .rm, .ram and .smil,,
    ----
    URLs that don't have suffixes can be tagged by adding the following anchors:
     
    '''MP3:''' #mp3,,
    '''Realmedia:''' #ram,,
     
    Not recognized:
     
    <no>http://some.url/that/loads?an=mp3+or+playlist&withoutan=extension</no>
     
    So do this:
     
    <no>http://some.url/that/loads?an=mp3+or+playlist&withoutan=extension#mp3</no>
    ----
    To play such a page simply select the supplied "Play this page as an <mediatype> playlist" link, or if there is no such link, append the following suffixes to the page's URL and reload it to invoke the playlist:
     
    '''MP3:''' .m3u,,
    '''Realmedia:''' .ram,,
    ----
    When editing wiki pages use these /Macros to include links to "Play this page as an <mediatype> playlist": links:
     
    '''MP3:''' <no>@m3u@</no>,,
    '''Realmedia:''' <no>@ram@</no>,,
     
    Use <tt>Local:</tt> to make relative links to other playlists from within the wiki. for example: <no>Local:SomeWikiPlaylist.mp3</no>
    ----
    This example includes links to realvideo files followed by a playback link:
