Simple Templates

I view simple templates as those which do not use variables.

For the mh370wiki.net site I have a lot of useful components in the Template namespace. When these are transcluded into a page there is no need to include the namespace.

A Short Line

I frequently use a short line to separate parts of a page. The html horizontal line

is full width by default and has no significant white space before or after.

My ShortLine is simple and reusable:-

<includeonly><div style="margin-left:20%; margin-right:20%; margin-top:1em; margin-bottom:1em;"><hr></div></includeonly>

If there was nothing else on the source page then the includeonly tags would not be needed. But I have kept a few previous versions, where I adjusted the white space, between noinclude tags.

To use the ShortLine I just transclude it with this instruction:-

{{ShortLine}}

And the result is this:-
