Template:Floruit/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Floruit. It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Usage
changeSource: {{fl.}} 1234, {{fl.|1234}} or {{fl.|1234|lk=off}}
Result: fl. 1234, fl. 1234 or fl. 1234
This template generates an abbreviation for floruit ("fl."); by default, it has a mouse-over tooltip explaining its meaning.
Parameters
changeThis template supports an optional (first, unnamed) parameter representing a year. For example, {{fl.|1956}} renders to give fl. 1956. This differs from {{fl.}} 1956 in that {{fl.|1956}} puts a non-breaking space in between the "fl." and the number, which prevents the web browsers from inserting a line break there.
If the |lk= (as in "link") parameter is set to |lk=off, then the abbreviation will be rendered as fl. (without a wikilink). Otherwise, the link is displayed. (This can be used to avoid overlinking when this template is used repeatedly in the body of an article.)
Potential future parameters could add articles to appropriate categories, e.g. Category:Year of birth missing.
