Template:BookCSS

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

Usage

This template includes mw:TemplateStyles CSS that applies to a specific work (or group of works). This allows the use of more semantically-correct markup rather than purely stylistic markup^[1].

• 1 the stylesheet to use. If this is not given, a stylesheet related to the Index name is used.
  • For example, the stylesheet for Index:Sandbox.djvu is at Template:BookCSS/Sandbox.djvu.css.
  • This parameter is always needed in mainspace.

In Page: namespace

Place {{BookCSS}} in the header.

If you have a CSS that is not specific to the Index name (for example, a common CSS shared by a series), use {{BookCSS|Title of CSS}}, which will use Template:BookCSS/Title of CSS.css.

In main namespace

For the Main namespace, place {{BookCSS}} just before the transclusions:

{{BookCSS|Sandbox.djvu}}
<pages index="Sandbox.djvu" from=1 to=2 />

Index of styles

• Dictionary of the Swatow dialect.djvu.css
• Motion Pictures 1912 to 1939 (IA Motionpict19121939librrich0010).djvu.css
• Sandbox.djvu.css
• doc

Notes

• When phab:T226275 is complete, it may be possible to deprecate this template and use Index page parameters instead.
  • Wikisource:Scriptorium/Archives/2021-03#New toys in 1.36.0-37 - work-specific CSS and fixed DjVu paragraphs
    • A remaining advantage of {{BookCSS}} is that as a removable template, it can be applied selectively to certain pages and chapters, rather than to an entire book.

1. For example, the use of === Heading === rather than {{center|{{x-larger|'''Heading'''}}}}, or the ability to add styles to certain lists.
