Template:Glossary link/doc

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

Shortcut: {{gll}}

This template uses TemplateStyles:

Template:Anchor/styles.css

Usage

Used to create an anchor point with visible text, and a wikilink with anchor, where the anchor, the text, and the wikilink's anchor are the same. Intended for wikilinks within a work, specially for works that have a Glossary subpage. It can also be used to link to other Wikisource works.

The behaviour of the template is:

In the main namespace, the wikilink points to subpage.
In the Page: namespace, if pageno is provided, the link will point to that page number. If not provided, the text is shown without wikilink.

Parameters

basic parameters

1, wildcard = name of anchor, content of text, and wikilink anchor.
2, subpage = name of a subpage of the current work. It defaults to Glossary. If the subpage doesn't exist, it looks for an existing subpage between the siblings and the parents of the current page. Otherwise, it leaves the name as is.

optional parameters

3, pageno = page number with the work in the Page: namespace.
4, toanchor = anchor for the wikilink. Overrides wildcard.
5, anchor = anchor for the current page. Overrides wildcard.
6, text = text displayed. Overrides wildcard.
