This:
{{#ask:[[Category:Document]]
|?Has Abstract=
|?Has Update Date=
|sort=Has Update Date
|format=template
|template=displayDocumentList
|link=none
|limit=10
|order=desc
|columns=3
}}
used to work nicely (SRF 1.5.1), letting me format my document title and place an abstract below it in with a smaller font.
As of Version 1.8, columns are ignored when format=template. I can use format=ul/ol/list with my template, but I can't get rid of the resulting bullet, number, or column that gets added.
Can format=template / columns=# support be restored?
Thanks.
