Transcluding route map

routemap the buttom space for a route diagram. If your route map is built up by the templates of project:route diagram template, the whole map is best to be written in a separate templatebasing on {{BS-map}} with inline=1 parameter. This will prevent the map from breaking up in IE7 or older browsers. See West Coast Wilderness Railway for example.
routemap_state collapse state of the route map section. "Show" by default. Input collapsed to "hide" the map in the article by default.
routemap_name header title of the routemap section, Route map by default

Microformat

The HTML mark up produced by this template includes an hCard microformat, which makes the place-name and location parsable by computers, either acting automatically to catalogue article across Wikipedia, or via a browser tool operated by a person, to (for example) add the subject to an address book. For more information about the use of microformats on Wikipedia, please see the microformat project.

If the place or venue has an "established", "founded", "opened" or similar date that is specific to the day, use {{start date}} unless the date is before 1583 CE. If it has a URL, use {{URL}}.

hCard uses HTML classes including:

  • adr
  • category
  • country-name
  • extended-address
  • fn
  • label
  • locality
  • nickname
  • note
  • org
  • street-address
  • url
  • vcard

Please do not rename or remove these classes nor collapse nested elements which use them.
