Template:Citation Style documentation

Template documentation

Usage

This template is used to build consistent documentation pages for Citation Style 1 templates.

For example: {{Citation Style documentation|author}} will show the author documentation.

Where a particular section of documentation is not appropriate for a certain template, simply add the text manually or create a new subtemplate.

Each module of text is a subtemplate that can be edited using the link.

Section usage

When creating template documentation, use the following order of sections and content:

• Lead: a brief overview of the template intent
• Usage: samples of blank parameters that can be copied and pasted
• Examples: examples of various usage
• Parameters: detailed descriptions of each parameter
  • Syntax: overview of the template syntax
  • Deprecated: list of deprecated parameters
  • Description: parameter descriptions separated by function in this general order:
    • Authors
    • Title
    • Date
    • Publisher
    • Edition, series, volume
    • In-source locations
    • URL
    • Anchor
    • Identifiers
    • Quote
    • Editors
    • Lay summary
    • Display options

Lead section

Use {{csdoc|lead|content}} to create consistent content for the lead:

Lua notice

Usage section

Start the usage section with {{csdoc|usage}}:

Copy a blank version to use. Almost all parameter names are supported only in lower case (some initialisms, such as |isbn= have upper case aliases like |ISBN=, which are acceptable for use). Use the "|" (pipe) character between each parameter. Unused parameters may be deleted to avoid clutter in the edit window. Some samples on this documentation page may include the current date. If the date is not current, then Template:Purge the page.

Parameters to copy are enclosed in tables created by sub-templates.

Full horizontal style

• Start with {{csdoc|usage full}}
• Precede the sample markup with : to create an indent
• Enclose the sample in Template:Tag
• Close the table with {{end}}
