Template:Infobox Canton/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Infobox Canton.
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is a customized wrapper for {{Infobox settlement}}. Any field from

REDIRECT Template:Template link code can work so long as it is added to this template first. It will also emit the same hCard and Geo microformats as
REDIRECT Template:Template link code. Questions? Just ask here or over at Template talk:Infobox settlement.
