Examples:

Say you have a news page with ID 55 and the left column contains 3 fresh headlines. Then for the withdrawal of the news stream in the column we call a snippet:

[[!UncosNews? & tpl = `NewsListTpl` & limit = `3`& newsPage =`55`& expand =`0`]]

Where &tpl - chunk to the news stream, &limit - the number of titles, &newsPage - news page, which will be displayed expanded news and &expand - the prohibition on the display of extended news in the left column. For the news page with ID 55 call the snippet will be quite simple:

[[!UncosNews? & tpl = `FullNewsListTpl` & fulltpl = `FullNewsItemTpl`]]

Where &tpl - chunk to news feed on the news page, &fulltpl - chunk to the one expanded news item.
