Template:RunningHeader

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

Intended to simplify the display of running headers (can also be used for footers) when transcribing scanned text pages. Many texts include running headers (chapter names, etc.) centered at the top of a page, with accompanying page numbers on the left or right side (depending on whether the page number is even or odd). Some works, especially dictionaries and directories, have two headings in the center of the page, one to the left and one to the right.

You can provide any number of parameters to the template. By default, all heading "cells" are center-aligned, except for the first cell, which is left-aligned, and the last cell, which is right-aligned. Note that a usage with only one or two cells is really a three-cell header with the second and third, or third, cell blank.

Example

{{rh|left|right}}

Example

{{rh|left|center|right}}

Example

{{rh|left|left-center|right-center|right}}

Example

{{rh|left|mid-left|center|mid-right|right}}

Example

{{rh|一|二|三|四|[page]|五|六|七|八|九}}

Parameters can be blank:

Example

{{rh|left|{{lorem ipsum}}|}}

Page styles

This template adds the class wst-rh (search for .wst-rh in CSS files) to the outer container.

You can target specific cells of the header with CSS like .wst-rh > div:nth-child(n), where n is the cell number, or target all cells with .wst-rh > div.

Redirects

{{Running header}}, {{runningheader}}, {{rh}}, {{RunningFooter}} and {{rf}} redirect here. Use these forms of the template if you prefer.
