Template:RunningHeader

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

This template is intended to simplify the reproduction of running headers (or footers) when transcribing scanned text pages. Many texts include running headers (chapter names, etc.) centered at the top of a page, accompanied by page numbers on the left or right side (depending on whether the page number is odd or even). Some works, especially dictionaries and directories, have two headings in the center of the page, one to the left and one to the right.

Usage

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/or third cell blank.

Example

{{RunningHeader|left|center}}

Example

{{RunningHeader||center|right}}

Example

{{RunningHeader|left|center|right}}

Example

{{RunningHeader|left|left-center|right-center|right}}

Example

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

Example

{{RunningHeader|一|二|三|四|[page]|五|六|七|八}}

Parameters can also be left blank:

Example

{{RunningHeader|left||TOP SECRET}}

Page styles

This template adds the class wst-rh (search for .wst-rh in CSS pages) 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.
