Here's a bit more involved example:

Tag Attributes

QUESTION -- does anybody know what version of the plugin AboutUs has installed? Some of the features in the instructions are not working. -Pete 12:58, 16 June 2008 (PDT)

(The syntax below is copied from this documentation.)

This extension defines a <googlemap> tag. Legal attributes are:

• width (in pixels; defaults to 450)
• height (in pixels; defaults to 300)
• lat (the center latitude on the map, defaults to my old dorm room :-)
• lon (the center longitude on the map)
• zoom (the zoom level; 0 is the furthest away, 17 is the closest in)
• type (legal values are normal (or, equivalently, map), terrain (new in 0.9.0), hybrid, and satellite; defaults to hybrid)
• controls (small creates +/- zoom buttons, medium has zoom buttons and pan buttons, large has pan buttons with a sliding scale for zoom, and none has no buttons)
• selector (show the map/hybrid/satellite selector? Legal values are yes (default) and no.)
• scale (show the distance scale? Legal values are yes and no (default).)
• overview (show the inset navigation map? Legal values are yes and no (default).)
• icons (URL template for custom markers, with "{label}" where the name of the icon will be inserted; defaults to "http://maps.google.com/mapfiles/marker{label}.png")
• icon (URL for markers without an icon specified; defaults to )
• doubleclick new in 0.7.6 (what to do when the user double-clicks? legal values are recenter (default) and zoom)
• zoomstyle new in 0.7.6 (legal values are fast (default) and smooth, also known as continuous zooming; only works in some browsers)
• stroke new in 0.8.0 (width of paths, in pixels)
• version new in 0.9.0 (specifies syntax version, see below; legal values are "0" (default) and "0.9")
• scrollwheel new in 0.9.0 (define scroll wheel behavior; nothing (default) or zoom)

All attributes are optional.
