Template:Highlighted date list

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This module creates a list of items sorted by date. The item for today, or for the closest date in the future, is highlighted.

Syntax

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext"> </syntaxhighlight>

Parameters

All parameters are optional.

• item1, item2, item3... - The list items. Note: the list items will be sorted by their dates, not their parameter numbers.
• date1, date2, date3... - The dates for each list item. date1 corresponds to item1, date2 corresponds to item2, etc.
• class - a class attribute for the list's ul element.
• style - inline CSS for the list's ul element.
• highlighter - a custom highlighter. The default is <span style="background-color:#FC6;font-size:120%">→</span> (→).
• highlightercolor - if |highlighter= is not specified, this specifies the background color of the highlighter. The default is "#FC6".
• graceperiod - the period of time that the template should wait after a date has passed before highlighting the next date in the list. This should be a value accepted as a relative date by the #time parser function, for example "1 day" or "2 months".
