Template:Familytree

Template documentation (for the above template, sometimes hidden or invisible)

This is dependent on Template:Familytree/element.

Parameters

This template produces a family tree table. The template accepts up to 400 unnamed parameters describing the contents of the table. Each parameter specifies a tile or a box, or a line break.

Tiles

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 one or more space characters. A table of supported tiles is given below.
