Drop initial
  • Bar: short line in text. {{bar}} makes ——————; {{bar|2}} makes ——; {{bar|1}} makes (=mdash);
there's nothing between {{bar|1}} and {{bar|2}}; so {{bar|1.5}} = {{bar|2}}
  • Rule: inserts a horizontal rule: {{rule|10em}} makes:

(with optional parameters)
also {{custom rule|sp|40|co|6|sp|40}} gives:

Sections: when chapters start halfway the page

[edit]

When a chapter starts halfway the page, like on Page:Sir William Petty - A Study in English Economic Literature - 1894.djvu/39, use section headers; and link to these headers in the main namespace: Bevan - Sir William Petty (1894)/II and Bevan - Sir William Petty (1894)/III. See: Help:Transclusion#How_to_transclude_a_portion_of_a_page.
