Template:Sidenotes end
About
[edit]Templates {{Right sidenote}}, and {{Left sidenote}} are used to create a text in which notes appear to the side of the text, rather than as footnotes at the end. Both templates are based on {{Sidenote}}.
These templates are compatible with dynamic layouts. Thus, the way notes are rendered in mainspace partly depends on the layout. Index-based CSS can also be used to target the sidenotes using the .wst-sidenote class.
Usage
[edit]Usage is as follows:
- In the Page Namespace, {{Sidenotes begin}} should be placed in the header of the page, and {{Sidenotes end}} in the footer, in order to create margins. (Note: these templates will be deprecated in the future, as css style properties will be imported from the index page)
- In the main namespace, these templates are no longer necessary.
