Template:Subterm

Template documentation

This template is intended for use in glossaries in conjunction with {{subdefn}}. This pair of templates work in a similar manner to {{term}} and {{defn}} which they call. That is, they provide formatting for a glossary term and its definition respectively, the main difference being the addition on an indent.

They are intended to be used where a glossary term has one or more specific variants applying to a limited set the main term. For example;

{{glossary}}
{{term|2=cat}}
{{defn|A domestic animal with claws for destroying furniture}}
{{subterm|2=Persian cat}}
{{subdefn|A cat for destroying [[Blofeld]]'s furniture}}
{{glossary end}}

will render as;

cat

A domestic animal with claws for destroying furniture

          Persian cat

A cat for destroying Blofeld's furniture

Note that the term text is required to be in the second field. See {{term}} documentation for further information on this.
