Template:DNBset/doc

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

Usage edit

Template, by default, used to apply {{DNB00}} and typeset pages in a standard fashion utilising partial or full transclusion from the Page: namespace.

Ideally, copy and paste the text between and including the curly brackets {{DNBset}} (below) as it is, complete the required detail and save.

Note that this template needs to be substituted for full effect, as shown.

Where start and finish <section>s are given the same id

{{subst:DNBset
 |article= 
 |previous= 
 |next= 
 |volume = 
 |contributor =
 |wikipedia = 
 |extra_notes= 
 |from=
 |to=
 |section=    
}}
