Add context with a Wikipedia plugin [June 5, 2011, 7:23 p.m.]
Suppose you have a persuasive video or an interview about climate change. It might be one of the topics being discussed today at Random Hacks of Kindness.

The Wikipedia plugin is represented in both the HTML page and in the JavaScript code.
HTML:
<div id="wikidiv"></div>
JavaScript:
.wikipedia ( {
start: 7,
end: 20,
src: "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HTML5",
target: 'wikidiv'
} )
