Template:RunningHeader/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:RunningHeader. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template is used on approximately 1,580,000 pages, or roughly 35% of all pages. To avoid major disruption and server load, any changes should be tested in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. The tested changes can be added to this page in a single edit. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

This template uses Lua: Module:Running header (sandbox)

This template uses TemplateStyles: Template:RunningHeader/styles.css

This template uses block elements, e.g. <div> or <p>. It should not be nested inside an inline element, e.g. <span>, or a template that produces such an element. This template applies the class(es) .wst-rh that can be targeted with a work's index styles.css using page styles See H:DIVSPAN for details.

Intended to simplify the display of running headers (can also be used for footers) when transcribing scanned text pages. Many texts include running headers (chapter names, etc.) centered at the top of a page, with accompanying page numbers on the left or right side (depending on whether the page number is even or odd). Some works, especially dictionaries and directories, have two headings in the center of the page, one to the left and one to the right.

You can provide any number of parameters to the template. By default, all heading "cells" are center-aligned, except for the first cell, which is left-aligned, and the last cell, which is right-aligned. Note that a usage with only one or two cells is really a three-cell header with the second and third, or third, cell blank.

{{rh|left|right}}

{{rh|left|center|right}}

{{rh|left|left-center|right-center|right}}

{{rh|left|mid-left|center|mid-right|right}}

{{rh|一|二|三|四|[page]|五|六|七|八|九}}

Parameters can be blank:

{{rh|left|{{lorem ipsum}}|}}

This template adds the class wst-rh (search for .wst-rh in CSS files) to the outer container.

You can target specific cells of the header with CSS like .wst-rh > div:nth-child(n), where n is the cell number, or target all cells with .wst-rh > div.
