Template:Marriage/doc

{{Marriage}} takes up to three unnamed parameters – plus either, both or neither of the named parameters |()= and |end= – to produce output such as the following:

Jane Doe (m. 1895–1905)

Fred Smith (m. 2010)

Jack Ripper (m. 1885; wid. 1888)

Frank Lee & Aynee Text (m. 2002–13)

The above were produced by:

{{marriage |[[John Doe|Jane Doe]] |1 January 1895 |December 31, 1905}}

{{marriage |Fred Smith |()=smaller |2010}}

{{marriage |Jack Ripper |1885 |July 27, 1888 |end=w.}}

{{marriage|()=small |Frank Lee & Aynee Text |2002 |2013}}

Syntax and parameters

{{marriage( |()= ) | [Text]  | [start date]  | [end date]  ( |end= )}}

Parameter	Description
()	Set |()=small or |()=smaller to reduce the font-size used for the parenthesis. (See second and fourth examples above.)
Text	Some text – usually a spouse's name – preceding the parenthesis carrying the marriage date/s, etc.
start date end date	Only the year within each of these will be displayed. If either has more information (e.g., month, day), it is given via a tooltip, i.e., {{Abbr}}. (See first and third examples above.)
end	Reason for marriage's end. Set |end="div", "div." or "divorced" (without quotemarks) to include "div." within the parenthesis;  or |end="w", "w.", "wid", "wid." or "widowed" (without quotemarks) to include "wid." (see third example above);  or |end=[item] to use a customised text/tooltip/etc. For example: {{marriage |Miss Doe |January 1, 1882 |December 31, 1905 |end={{abbr|d.|died}}}} which produces: Miss Doe (m. 1882; d. 1905)
