Template:picdic/documentation

Use this template to add a Picture dictionary to an entry.

Usage (see four different ways to use this template below):

Parameters for this template:
 * image
 * Image that describes the entry.


 * detail1
 * Any content, in most cases clickable image(s) describing a hypernym.
 * A clickable image can be inserted by adding a line with template:picdicimg for each image.

Optional parameters
 * detail2
 * detail3
 * detail4
 * Any content, in most cases clickable images describing the hyponyms.
 * A clickable image can be inserted by adding a line with template:picdicimg for each image.
 * detail2, detail3 and detail4 are optional, in that case hyponyms should be described elsewhere.
 * Within parameters detail1, detail2, detail3 and detail4 the full wiki syntax can be used. The only restriction is the use of the | character in tables (and complex templates). That character should be replaced by the template | . For tables {|, |-, |, ||, |} etc. should be replaced by {|, |-, |, ||, |} etc. Alternatively the (X)HTML syntax for tables can be used like &lt;table>&lt;tr>&lt;td> &lt;/td>&lt;/tr>&lt;/table>.


 * scrollable
 * Fill scrollable=yes to have a scroll bar at the bottom of the details


 * text
