Template:Lyrics head

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

The Lyrics templates are used to list the lyrics in a song. Three templates are used to form the lyrics table:

• {{Lyrics head}} - Contains table headers for the top of the lyrics table
  • Defines the columns and their orders
  • Adds a hidden HTML tag for the lyrics option fieldset to attach to
• {{Lyrics line}} - Template for all the individual lyrics lines, for each verse in a song
• {{Lyrics tail}} - Contains table footer for the bottom of the lyrics table

Parameters

Template for the header section for lyrics tables. Defines the columns for the table.

Template parameters

This template prefers block formatting of parameters.

Parameter		Description	Type	Status
Table ID	id	Give each lyrics table a unique ID, allowing the lyrics option JavaScript to target the correct table. Example 1	String	optional
Columns	columns	Defines the columns for the table, separated by commas. The order in the list defines the display order from left to right. The names of each columns become the parameter names for this template to define column headers the parameter names for the "Lyrics line" template to define cell content.

Usage
