Template:Book Header/Doc

The UESPWiki – Your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995
Jump to: navigation, search

Summary[edit]

This template creates the header for a book and adds relevant categories and trail entries. While primarily intended to be used with the various book-related templates like {{Lore Book}} and {{Game Book}}, it can also be used on its own for special cases. Note that unlike the aforementioned templates, Book Header does not alter subsequent formatting.

Parameters[edit]

All parameters listed here are automatically inherited from the calling template. It should only be necessary to specify them if calling Book Header directly from a page. The calling template is responsible for saving the data, if necessary—this template only displays and categorizes the information.
