How to Transclude portions of the Table generated by these templates in main space.
[edit]<section begin="__section" />{{tl|Statute table/s}}
and
{{tl|Statute table/e}}<section end="__section" />
into the wiki-text at the appropriate parts. Please note that the line-break requirements noted earlier are significant for this.
Where __section is the name of the "section" of the table, typically a short code for the monarch, regnal year or calander year.
In main space use a pages tag, (see Help:Transclusion) where the fromsection and tosection take the relevant __section name used.
Where a section is present within a single Pages, the onlysection should be used instead, and the relevant single page given via the include parameter.
