Usage[edit]

This template is a catch-all for all of the California Codes. This differs from the original {{CalCode}} by both allowing and requiring the code to be within the template, allowing more aesthetic links.

This template links to an external site, the California Legislative Information website. External links should not normally be used in the body of an article; see Wikipedia:External links for discussion of acceptable and unacceptable uses.

Note: To cite a code section without a subdivision, you must insert the last pipe | in the template.
