Template:See below/doc
This is a documentation subpage for Template:See below (see that page for the template itself). It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
{{See above}} and {{See below}} are simple wrappers for {{crossreference|selfref=no|text=...}}.
The output is a parenthetical fragment, intended mostly for use in the middle of or at the end of a sentence.
For more complex custom cross-references, use {{Crossreference}} directly. But please avoid "talking at" the reader.
For cross-references between articles, use {{See also}} or another in that family of hatnote templates.
Usage[edit]
The templates will format a "(see above)" or a "(see below)" or a custom message into a standardized style for an inline (not block-level) cross-reference to other content in the same article.
They are not self-references, to other pages, but self-references to the content at hand on the same page, and are thus printworthy. Their output is ultimately generated by Module:Hatnote inline.
Default: {{See above}} and {{See below}}
