Usage
- {{Italic title}} italicises the title automatically under certain circumstances. If the title is less than 50 characters in length, italicisation is always performed automatically:
- Titles with no brackets () are fully italicised:
- Foo → Foo
- Talk:Foo → Talk:Foo
- Titles which contain brackets are italicised before the first open bracket:
- Foo (bar) → Foo (bar)
- Talk:Foo (bar) → Talk:Foo (bar)
- Titles with no brackets () are fully italicised:
- Titles longer than 50 characters are not automatically italicised. However, you can pass parameters for the template to test the title against: if a match is found, italicisation is performed:
- {{Italic title| name | bracket1 | bracket2 | ... }}, where "name" is the first part of the title (before any brackets) and the "bracket#" are a list of up to five possible brackets:
{{Italic title| Foo | bar | baz }} will italicise as follows:- Foo → Foo
- Foo (bar) → Foo (bar)
- Foo (baz) → Foo (baz)
- Foo (quok) → Foo (quok)
- {{Italic title| name | bracket1 | bracket2 | ... }}, where "name" is the first part of the title (before any brackets) and the "bracket#" are a list of up to five possible brackets:
