Template:Font list item/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

{{Font list item}} can be used to format lists of font samples.

Usage

[edit]

{{Font list item |name=Article name |designer=Designer |class=Class |subclass=Sub-category (if exist) |example1=Font example |example2=Font sample |example3=Font specimen}}

Example

[edit]
{{Font list top|Serif}}
{{Font list item
|name     = [[Chaparral (typeface)|Chaparral]]
|designer = Carol Twombly
|class    = Slab serif
|subclass = Neo-grotesque
|example1 = Chaparral font.PNG
|example2 = Chaparral sample.PNG
|example3 = Chaparral spec.PNG
}}
{{Font list bottom}}

The above generates the following:

Samples of Serif typefaces
Typeface name Example 1 Example 2 Example 3
Chaparral
Designer: Carol Twombly
Class: Slab serif
Sub-class: Neo-grotesque

Notes

[edit]
  • The name of the designer does not need to be put in link brackets, if the article exist, it will generate the link automatically
  • The brackets for the designer should be placed manually under two circumstances:
    • Having to specify the designer (in case there are other articles about other people with the same name)
    • In case that there are more than one designer (if you place them separated by comas, there will not be any link generated)
  • The sub-class is rare, and it does not need to be always specified.
