Cèṭa'an:Citation Style documentation/doc

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
    • Display options

Usage section

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

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 <code><nowiki>...</nowiki></code>
• Close the table with {{end}}

|} The above set is organised contextually rather than alphabetically. The following parameters, which are usually available for at least a few cite templates, are not included in the full parameter set above: |authors=; |book-title=; |class=; |degree=; |docket=; |encyclopedia=; |mailing-list=; |message-id=; |number=; |publication-date=; |section=; |sheet=; |sheets=; |title-link=; |s2cid=.

Most commonly used horizontal style

• Start with {{csdoc|usage common}}
• Precede the sample markup with : to create an indent
• Enclose the sample in <code><nowiki>...</nowiki></code>
• Close the table with {{end}}

{{csdoc|usage common}}
:<code><nowiki>{{cite book |last= |first= |author-link= |title= |url= |access-date= |date= |publisher= |location= |isbn= |page= |pages=}}</nowiki></code>
{{end}}

{{cite book |last= |first= |author-link= |title= |url= |access-date= |date= |publisher= |location= |isbn= |page= |pages=}}

|}

Full vertical style

The full vertical style can be implemented in a three-columns format (only practical when the number of parameters is not too extended) or in a four-columns format.

Three-columns format

The full vertical style in three columns consists of a "Vertical list", "Prerequisites" and "Brief instructions / notes".

<!--
* Start with: 
-->
{{csdoc|usage vertical}}
<pre style="margin:0px;">
<!--
* Create the vertical list column
* Separate the next column with:
-->
</pre>
{{csdoc|usage vertical mid}}
<pre style="margin:0px;">
<!--
* Create the prerequisites column; blank lines must include a &nbsp;
* Separate the next column with:
-->
</pre>
{{csdoc|usage vertical mid}}
<pre style="margin:0px;">
<!--
* Create the instructions column; blank lines must include a &nbsp;
* End with:
-->
</pre>
{{csdoc|usage vertical end}}

Example:

{{csdoc|usage vertical}}
<pre style="margin:0px;">
{{cite book
| last                  =
| first                 =
| author-link           =
}}
</pre>
{{csdoc|usage vertical mid}}
<pre style="margin:0px;">
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
last
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
</pre>
{{csdoc|usage vertical mid}}
<pre style="margin:0px;">
&nbsp;
same as last1
same as first1
&nbsp;
&nbsp;
</pre>
{{csdoc|usage vertical end}}
