Template:Introrel

Usage of Introrel Template

The template will produce your required introduction inside a blue header box as described at Template:Intro, followed by an indented section of text underneath, complete with the header &quot;Related article(s):&quot;. The author must then provide a bulleted list of articles as described below, using the asterisk (*) character to provide the list bullet. The asterisk for the first bullet is produced by the template.

General usage:

Alternative:

If all your introductory is to be displayed without emphasis, you must still supply the second pipe symbol "|" to demarcate the second section, so that after your unemphasised text, you have two pipe symbols followed by your list of references:

Note that if the pipe symbol is missing, only a dummy parameter will be displayed instead of your intended text.

Example 1: Unemphasised text in introduction, single item in list 

Typing this:

will produce this:

Example 2: Unemphasised and emphasised text in introduction, two items in list

Typing this:

will produce this:

Special cases:

If text in any of the three sections:


 * 1) The opening, unemphasised text
 * 2) The emphasised text
 * 3) The list of references

contains any equals signs ("=") or employs other templates, notably the template, that string of text must be preceded by "1=", "2=" or "3=" according to the section it occurs in. Here are two examples:

Example 3: Unemphasised text in introduction, external link in list 

Typing this:

will produce this:

Example 4: Unemphasised and emphasised text in introduction, external links in emphasised text and list

Typing this:

will produce this:

Note in both these examples that each instance of the other template being used must itself employ the "1=" prefix, where its parameter (the URL) contains an equals sign. "1=" is used (not 2= or 3= according to the section of it occurs in), as it occurs in the first section of. However it's fine to include the "1=" even in a link that does not contain an equals sign, as the text will still display correctly.

Ignore the following, it's only a representation of formatting and a parameter dummy.
