Template:Byline

Byline

[view] [edit]

The {{byline}} template is used to mark up a byline when a newspaper article is transcribed.

If a second unnamed parameter is provided, it is rendered as a sub-byline.

Parameters

Parameter	Default	Description
align	center	Horizontal alignment. Expected values are center and left (case-insensitive).
all-small	false	Controls whether the subhead is rendered in all small caps. This parameter is parsed by {{boolean}}, so any value understood by that template can be used. If this is true, bold will be set to false by default.
bold	true	Controls whether the byline is rendered in bold. As above, this parameter is parsed by {{boolean}}.
italic	false	Controls whether the byline is rendered in italics. As above, this parameter is parsed by {{boolean}}.
sc	false	Controls whether the byline is rendered in small caps. As above, this parameter is parsed by {{boolean}}. If this is true, bold will be set to false by default.
