User:Wikid77/Template:Infobox Artery/doc

The anatomy infobox "Template:Infobox_Artery" displays a right-side infobox showing information about arteries of the body, allowing a clickable map and 2 images to be displayed at the top of the box.

The template is invoked using double-brace syntax (with the result similar to that shown at the right), coded as follows:

{{Infobox Artery
| Name = Pulmonary artery
| Latin = truncus pulmonalis,
 arteria pulmonalis
| GraySubject= 141
| GrayPage = 543
| Imagemap ={{Heart diagram 250px}}
| Caption = Anterior (frontal)
 view of the opened heart. 
 (Pulmonary artery upper right.)
| Image2 = Alveoli diagram.png
| Caption2 = Diagram of the
 alveoli with both cross-section
 and external view.
| BranchFrom = [[right ventricle]]
| BranchTo =
| Vein = [[pulmonary vein]]
| Precursor = truncus arteriosus
| Supplies =
| MeshName = Pulmonary+Artery
| MeshNumber = A07.231.114.715
| DorlandsPre = t_20
| DorlandsSuf = 12826098 
}}

The template parameters are (Camel case requiring upper/lowercase):

• Name = English name for structure.
• Latin = Latin name for structure.
• GraySubject = Gray's Anatomy subject number, such as: 189.
• GrayPage = Gray's Anatomy page number, such as: 825.
• Image = top image (omit "Image:").
• Width = width of top image (in pixels, default=250).
• Caption = caption under top image.
• Image2 = 2nd top image (omit "Image:").
• Width2 = width of 2nd image (in pixels, default=Width).
• Caption2 = caption under 2nd top image.
• BranchFrom = such as "right ventricle"
• BranchTo    = any text
• Vein = such as "pulmonary vein"
• Precursor = such as "truncus arteriosus"
• Supplies = any text
• MeshName = MeSH name
• MeshNumber = MeSH number code
• DorlandsPre = Dorlands prefix, such as: i_09.
• DorlandsSuf = Dorlands suffix, such as: 12454066.

• BoxWidth   = width of infobox (in em/pixels, default 20em), also "boxwidth"
• ColumnGap =     - extra spaces between infobox columns.

Most parameters here start with a capital letter.

The template was implemented in November 2005 using the MediaWiki parser-functions language (which was updated in January 2008 to run with a recursive descent parser).

Changes should be made and verified in a test-version of the template copied into user-space (as a page named "User:XXX/Template:Infobox_Artery"). Changes can be checked by editing actual articles by edit-preview (not Save) with the template-brace calls prefixed by "{<font/>{User:XXX/Template:...}}" but never saved that way.

When modifying the template or documentation ("/doc" subpage), it is often necessary to purge the template cache (using "action=purge"), such as to display modified documentation:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Template:Infobox_Artery&action=purge

Running old versions of the template can be very confusing and frustrating when trying to install and verify improvements copied from test-versions of the template (so remember "action=purge").

• Template:Infobox_Vein - for veins of the body.
• Template:Infobox_Brain - for parts of the brain.
• Template:Eye - articles on parts of the eye.
