Template:Kicker

Kicker
The {{kicker}} template is used to mark up a kicker when a newspaper article is transcribed.
A kicker is a short phrase introducing the headline, usually printed in smaller type, sometimes underlined, above the main headline. A kicker is also called an overline, eyebrow, or strap. (See [1], [2], [3].)
