Editing Template:Familytree/doc (section)

== Parameters ==
The <code><nowiki>|summary=text</nowiki></code> parameter of the {{tl|familytree/start}} template should be used to describe the overall layout of the tree. This summary is for [[Wikipedia:Accessibility|accessibility]]: it is read aloud to visually impaired readers who use [[w:screen reader|screen reader]]s, and is invisible to sighted readers.

The {{tl|familytree}} template produces one row in a family tree table.  The template accepts up to 80 unnamed parameters describing the contents of the table.  Each parameter specifies a '''tile''' or a '''box'''.
* '''Tiles''' are line drawing symbols consisting of horizontal and vertical lines and various corners and crossings thereof.  Tiles are specified using single-character symbols that more or less approximate the shape of the tile in appearance.  A special case of a tile is the '''empty tile''', specified by a single space character.  A table of supported tiles is given below.

* '''Boxes''' can contain arbitrary [[Help:Formatting|wiki markup]].  The contents of boxes are specified using additional named parameters appended to the template call.  Each box is '''three tiles wide''' and normally has a 2 pixels wide black border.  Boxes can have any name that is a valid template parameter name, although single character names should be avoided to prevent conflicts with tile symbols.
