Template:2017 USL Eastern Conference table/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:2017 USL Eastern Conference table.
It may contain usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

Usage[edit]

This template is designed to collect information, which is used in several articles, in one location. The 2017 USL season tables are shown on the overall season article, as well as the articles for each conference, if not other pages as well. This template should replace the need to update the same information on several articles.

In article[edit]

To add this table to an article, type {{2017 USL Eastern Conference table}}.

Display options[edit]

Smaller table[edit]

If a smaller displayed table is desired, the parameter |only_pld_pts= can be defined in the template call to display only the position, team, games played, and points columns. This display may be desired if displaying both conference tables side-by-side. Valid values of |only_pld_pts= to display a truncated table are 1, yes, y, true, and t.

For example:

What you type

{{2017 USL Eastern Conference table|only_pld_pts=true}}

What you see

Pos	Team v t e	Pld	Pts
1	Louisville City FC (C)	32	62
2	Charleston Battery	32	54
3	Tampa Bay Rowdies	32	53
4	Rochester Rhinos	32	53
5	Charlotte Independence	32	48

Display on team articles[edit]

Smaller sections of the table can be placed in team articles |showteam= and |show_limit= parameters. Use the abbreviation for the team that is used in the code, e.g. CHB

for Charleston Battery, and the number of teams you wish to display – note that even numbers will be increased to an odd number to show symmetry in the table. For example:

What you type

{{2017 USL Eastern Conference table|showteam=CHS|show_limit=6}}

What you see

Pos	Team v t e	Pld	W	D	L	GF	GA	GD	Pts	Qualification
1	Louisville City FC (C)	32	18	8	6	58	31	+27	62	Conference Playoffs
