Difference between revisions of "Template:Paragon Times Article"

Usage

This template standardizes formatting for archived Paragon Times articles, attempting to recreate the style in which they were originally presented at the official CoH website before they disappeared with the site's redesign.

The template requires the following parameters to be passed:

header1

This is the name of the image used as the header at the top of the article.

byline1

This is the text on the left side of the byline, located between the two header images at the top of the article.

byline2

This is the text in the center of the byline, located between the two header images at the top of the article.

byline3

This is the text on the right side of the byline, located between the two header images at the top of the article.

header2

This is the name of the image used as the header between the byline and the main article (usually the article's headline.)

header3

Articles sometimes contain images or text between the normal header content and the main article. In these cases, this parameter may be used to add this content. (This parameter is optional.)

headline

This is the introductory headline that appears at the top of the left column in the article.

writer

This is the name of the article's author. In some cases the author's name is followed by a title. When this occurs, the two should be separated with a <br /> tag.

leftcol

This is the main text in the left column of the article that follows after the writer's name and title. In some cases, there may be images embedded in within the text.

rightcol

This is the text in the right column of the article. There is usually an image embedded at the top of the column and additional images are sometimes embedded within the remaining text.

disclaim

Includes Template:NC Disclaim at the bottom of the article. This is the box that first appeared in the April 30 Paragon Times article, when the format changed. The NC Disclaim will be included no matter what value is set for disclaim, and will not be included if it remains undefined.

disclaimtext

If disclaim is defined, any text defined with disclaimtext will be placed immediately above the disclaim box.
