Template:Class figure

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is for formatting figures within books (ie. block images with captions). It is meant to be used alongside CSS classes. How figures are formatted typically differs from book to book, but are fairly consistent within a given book, making it a good application for this.

There are two versions: {{class figure}}, and {{class figure/inline}} for versions that generates a span rather than a div to be used when the figure appears mid-paragraph.

Parameters

The basic usage is:

{{class figure
 |num     = 
 |image   = 
 |caption = 
}}

Many books number their figures "Fig. 1", "Fig. 2", etc, and then refer to them in the text. |num=n creates:

1. a prefix in the caption labeling it as "Fig. $n$"
2. an anchor "Fig.$n$" so the figure can be linked to

The template's full parameters are:
