Further template category notes

This category contains pages in the template namespace. It should not be used to categorize articles or pages in other namespaces.

To add a template to this category:

• If the template has a separate documentation page (usually called "Template:template name/doc"), add
•  [[Template:Routemap/doc]]
• to the <includeonly> section at the bottom of that page. Otherwise, add
•  <noinclude>[[Template:Routemap/doc]]</noinclude>
• to the end of the template code, making sure it starts on the same line as the code's last character.

This category is an index of templates which use TemplateStyles. It is automatically populated by {{Uses TemplateStyles}}.

This template is used for constructing route diagram templates. It is the Lua-based successor of the {{BS-map}} templates, which have been superseded by {{Routemap}} on the English OODA WIKI but are still used on other wikis.

Markup for map parameter

For a tabulated list of many of the pictograms available for railway routemaps, see commons:BSicon/Catalogue.

If you've already read this section, you may want to skip to § Syntax overview.

The markup for composing the diagram in the |map= parameter is different to the {{BSrow}}-based templates. The major differences are the separators in each row. Subtemplates are not necessary, since a new row in the table is simply created by a carriage return (newline).

{{Routemap

Basic

Example 1.1
exCONTg exCONTg ENDExa ENDExa CONTgq KRZu CONTfq CONTgq\KRZu\CONTfq BHF ABZgl CONTfq \ABZgl\CONTfq CONTf CONTf

icon ID\icon ID\icon ID

• Icons are separated by the backslash \.
• Each group of icons is centered in its row. The nameless icon (at the start of row 5 in the diagram) can be used as a spacer.
• The ID of each icon can be seen in its tooltip. Move your cursor over the icons to see them.

Sidebar text

icon ID\icon ID\icon ID~~dist./time~~main text~~remark~~right remark

or

icon ID\icon ID\icon ID~~main text

{{Routemap |title=Example 1.2 |map= KBHFa~~terminus WASSERq\hKRZWae\WASSERq~~ ~~ ~~ ~~Bridge LDER\INT\~~1 km~~station~~transfer for HSR \KBHFe\BUS~~2 km~~terminus~~bus terminal }}

Example 1.2 terminus Bridge LDER INT 1 km station transfer for HSR BUS 2 km terminus bus terminal

• The third and fourth pairs of tildes can be omitted if there is no content following either of them.
• After the last icon ID, if there is only one set of "tilde-tilde" (~~), the following text will be displayed in the main text cell instead of dist./time.
• Separating text cells requires at least one empty space; otherwise the tildes will be treated as a signature.

Text cells in icon rows

*text\d*text\cd*text~~main text

{{Routemap |title=Example 1.3 |map= ENDEa~~ ~~ ~~Reversing siding SPLa cBS\vSTR\cBS~~Station d*1\cBS\vSTR\cBS\d*2~~ ~~ ~~Platform numbers cBS\vSTR\cBS vCONTfge~~ ~~ ~~''to City'' }}

Example 1.3 ENDEa Reversing siding SPLa cBS vSTR cBS Station 1 cBS vSTR cBS 2 Platform numbers cBS vSTR cBS vCONTfge to City

The asterisk indicating a text cell can be preceded by one of the BSicons' width prefixes. (Normal BSicons are square.)

Letters	o	c	d	cd	none	b	s	bs	w
Width	1⁄8	1⁄4	1⁄2	3⁄4	1	2	4	6	8

Icon overlay, icon link, background color and colspan

{{Routemap |title=Example 2.1 |map= -colspan-1 Icon overlay uSTRq!~STR2!~BHF!~lHUB\\dSTR!~uSTRq\dSTR!~dNULf -colspan-2-style=border-bottom:5px solid red; ---- icon link utBHF!@Superhub -colspan ---- background color -colspan-end utSTR~~ ~~ ~~ ~~ ~~bg=#7af }}

Example 2.1 Icon overlay uSTRq; STR2; BHF; lHUB uSTRq; STR2; BHF; lHUB dSTR; uSTRq dSTR; dNULf dSTR; dNULf icon link Superhub background color utSTR

• Overlay separator "exclamation mark-tilde" (!~) must follow the icon ID which is to be overlaid.
• Overlay is practically unlimited, but legibility should be taken into account.
• The width of the underlying icon determines the width of the combination, even if less than the overlay. The icons are aligned with their left edges together, so that they will not be centered on each other if they differ in width. If the overlay extends past the underlying icon, it will overlay the following icon (but not the following icon's overlay).
• When using icon overlay and icon link for the same icon cell, the icon link separator (!@) must follow the last (top) overlaying icon ID.
• The background color parameter (bg=) requires 5 sets of preceding text separators to be recognizable even if there is no text on that row whatsoever.

Other formatting options

Rows

{{Routemap |title=Example 2.2 |map= utSTR~~ ~~ ~~{{mono|1=bg=<abbr title="This is the normal BSicon color for watercourses.">#007CC3</abbr>}}~~ ~~bg=#007CC3 *1\*2\*3~~ ~~ ~~{{mono|1=color=red,bold=yes}}~~ ~~color=red,bold=yes *A\*C\*E~~ ~~ ~~{{mono|1=align=l,b=1,fontsize=cmt}}~~ ~~align=left,b=1,fontsize=cmt *B\*D\*F~~ ~~ ~~{{mono|1=colour=orange, align=b, i=y}}~~ ~~colour=orange, align=b, i=y }}

Example 2.2 utSTR bg=#007CC3 1 2 3 color=red,bold=yes A C E align=l,b=1,fontsize=cmt B D F colour=orange, align=b, i=y

Aside from bg=, there are several other parameters, separated by commas (,), which can be used to customize the display of a row. Only bg= can be used to change the display of icons; all others only affect text cells.

Row parameters
Parameter name	Values	Result
bg=, background= or bgcolor=	Any X11 color name, RGB hex triplet or other valid values of the CSS background property	Row background is colored

	l or left	Text in cells is aligned to the left
	r or right	Text in cells is aligned to the right
	a, t or top	Text in cells is aligned to the top
	e, b or bottom	Text in cells is aligned to the bottom
	la, tl, c4, nw, top-left or topleft	Text in cells is aligned to the top-left corner
	ra, tr, c1, ne, top-right or topright	Text in cells is aligned to the top-right corner
	le, bl, c3, sw, bottom-left or bottomleft	Text in cells is aligned to the bottom-left corner

	cmt or comment	Text in cells is the same size as the small sidebar text (other columns)
	Any valid values of the CSS font-size property	Text in cells is a different size (percentages are relative to the large sidebar text)

Individual cells/icons

icon!_bg=purple\*text__align=l!~*more text__align=r,b=yes

• Parameters for a single icon or text cell (e.g. BHF, *Text) are preceded by two underscores (__).
• Parameters for the contents of a table cell (a stack of overlaid objects, or a single icon or text box with no overlays) are preceded by an exclamation mark and an underscore (!_). This must follow the link (if any).
• For the last overlaid item in a stack, the individual item parameters (if any) must precede the stack parameters.
• Most of the parameters are the same as those for rows, but there are a few additional ones. Additionally, the values for align=, bg= and color= will override the row parameter values.

Icon, text box and overlay stack parameters
Parameter name	Values	Result
bg=, background= or bgcolor=	Any X11 color name, RGB hex triplet or other valid values of the CSS background property	Background is colored This should not be used with overlays above icons.
color= or colour=	Any X11 color name or RGB hex triplet	All the text of a cell, or the text of an individual text box, is colored
b= or bold=	1, yes, y or true	Boldfaced text
i=, it= or italic=	1, yes, y or true	Italicized text
align=	No or invalid value	Text is aligned per parameters of its parent (default: centered vertically and horizontally)

Collapsible

{{Routemap |title=Example 3.1: Basic collapsible |text-width=80 |map= -startCollapsible-collapsed \KBHFa\~~terminus hSTRa@g WASSERq\hKRZW\WASSERq~~ ~~ ~~ ~~bridge hSTRe@f -endCollapsible- LDER\INT\~~ ~~station~~transfer for HSR \KBHFe\BUS~~ ~~terminus~~bus terminal }}

Example 3.1: Basic collapsible terminus hSTRag hKRZW bridge hSTRef LDER INT station transfer for HSR BUS terminus bus terminal

Example 3.2: Mixed odd and even rows terminus bridge BS2+l BS2+r junction

• Adjust |text-width= (or |tw=) parameter until there is no break.
  • Unit is "px" by default, but other units such as "em" are acceptable.
  • Check the map in different browser and in mobile view, and increase text-width if it breaks.
• The icon number of the first row of collapsible section must be equal to or greater than the icon number of the widest non-collapsible row.
  • As in example 3.2, use half-width empty icon   (d) as filler when you are mixing both odd and even rows in the same map.
• Changing "collapsed" to "nil" will change the default state of the collapible section to uncollapsed.

Collapsible replacement

{{Routemap |title=Example 4.1 |text-width=150 |map= KBHFa~~terminus -startCollapsible-collapsed-replace \LSTR\~~hidden section \hSTRa@g\ WASSERq\hKRZW\WASSERq~~ ~~ ~~viaduct hSTRe@f -endCollapsible- LDER\INT\~~ ~~station~~transfer for HSR \KBHFe\BUS~~ ~~terminus~~bus terminal }}	Example 4.1 terminus LSTR hidden section hSTRag hKRZW viaduct hSTRef LDER INT station transfer for HSR BUS terminus bus terminal
{{Routemap |title=Example 4.2: Empty filler |text-width=150 |map= -startCollapsible-collapsed-replace exCONTg~~under construction leer exKBHFa~~future terminus exBHF~~future station -endCollapsible KBHFxa~~terminus KBHFe~~terminus }}	Example 4.2: Empty filler exCONTg under construction leer exKBHFa future terminus exBHF future station KBHFxa terminus terminus

• Both replacement and replaced rows must be as wide as the widest non-collapsible row in the diagram.
• If you want to hide the replaced row after expanding the collapsible, use icon   (leer) as empty filler as in example 4.2.
• In any case, mind to provide a sufficient text-width. Here, using text-width=120 would break the alignment of the icons.
• Collapsible elements are intentionally disabled in mobile view, so the replaced row will never be visible. Keep this in mind while creating a diagram.

Dual text sidebar

For larger and more complicated diagrams, it often helps to have a text sidebar on the left as well as the right.

left-left remark~~left remark~~left main text~~left dist./time! !icon ID~~right dist./time~~right main text~~right remark~~right-right remark

or

left main text! !icon ID~~right main text

{{Routemap |title=Example 5 |map= ~~km! !~~km~~ commuter terminus~~0! !uKBHFa\\KBHFa~~0~~regional terminus River Boris~~ ~~! !uhKRZWae\WASSERq\hKRZWae~~ ~~ ~~bridge transfer for HSR~~station~~1! !uINT\LDER\LSTR commuter terminus~~2! !uKBHFe\\KBHFe~~2~~regional terminus }}

Example 5 km km commuter terminus 0 uKBHFa 0 regional terminus River Boris uhKRZWae bridge transfer for HSR station 1 uINT LDER LSTR commuter terminus 2 uKBHFe 2 regional terminus

• Left text cells require "exclamation mark-space-exclamation mark" (! !) separating them from icon cells.
• If there is no "tilde-tilde" (~~) separator to the left of "exclamation mark-space-exclamation mark", the text to the left of the separator will be displayed in the left main text cell.

• Apply |text-width= to eliminate the break:
  • Only 1 value: right main text+right remark
  • 3 values, separated by commas: right dist./time,right main text+right remark,right-right remark
  • 6 values: Left-left remark,left remark+left main text,left dist./time,right dist./time,right main text+right remark,right-right remark
  • If the number of values is not equal to 1, 3 or 6, the entire parameter will be ignored.
• If the text width of right-right remark is smaller than needed, its width definition can be omitted, as in example 6.1.
• If a specific text cell is not used anywhere on the map, that width definition can be omitted, as in example 6.2.
• Define the general table width with the {{{style}}} parameter if {{{text-width}}} alone cannot prevent a break.
• If the empty icon cell of the collapsible row is being squashed, use empty icon   (leer) to correct the icon columns.

Transition from legacy BS row template to Routemap markup

Conversion policies

Many contributors of the English Route Diagram Template project during the implementation of Routemap have conflicting opinions about the justification of replacing all maps of legacy BS row templates by the Lua-based Routemap. Opponents deem the map markups of Routemap to be too esoteric for editors unfamiliar with Routemap markup to modify. While proponents support a complete conversion for better performance. There is no consensus reached at the moment so any transition without massively updating the map appearance for reflecting service and/or structural change in reality should only be done with the following considerations:

• The map of the legacy BS row template design has exceeded template size limit in the transcluding page, which means the template does not expand into its intended appearance but only the link to the template page is shown, so there is an imminent need to translate the map into Routemap design to reduce post-expand include size.
• If there is no template size issue, respect the preference of the initial contributor of the first completed version of the diagram. If that contributor contests the change to Routemap, retain the BS row template design.

Technical options

All BS row templates have had substitutable counterparts created; hence conversion can be easily done by prepending subst: and appending /safesubst to every BS row template name in the map. For example, change {{BS2|STR|BHF|0|1|2|3|O1=uSTRq}} in the map to {{subst:BS2/safesubst|STR|BHF|0|1|2|3|O1=uSTRq}}, then publish changes; it will produce STR!~uSTRq\BHF~~0~~1~~2~~3. The process can be sped up by using the "replace all" function of advanced edit tool or separate text editor such as Notepad or Notepad++, but the search rule for the BS row templates should ideally be a regular expression, like \{\{(BS\d*(\-2)?)\| → {{subst:$1/safesubst|, in order to avoid templates with similar names such as BSto and BSsplit in case they are present in the map.

"Column mode editing" can avoid the trouble of find and replace to add safesubst: on all rows efficiently. This function is common in advanced text editors like Geany,^[1] Notepad++^[2] and Sublime Text^[3].

You can also use the "convertbs" function of Module:Routemap.

Function convertbs

Copy and paste the following code to any edit area of this wiki, maybe the map page you are working on:

{{#invoke:Routemap|convertbs|<nowiki>

</nowiki>}}

Then copy and paste the original BS-map or BS-table map code between the <nowiki> tags (alternatively paste the invoke convertbs header before the original map code and the </nowiki>}} ending after the map code) and show preview. It will generate the safesubst version and show the original versions (for comparison) of the map code. You copy the safesubst code from the preview area back to the edit area, and you should remove everything of #invoke:Routemap|convertbs if the preview of the new code works properly.

On the English OODA WIKI, the template

This template, often abbreviated as {{}}, is used to provide stylized formatting to template displays without actually using the template itself. The code generated will be displayed inline. For a multi-line output, see {{tj}}.

Parameters

With the exception of alttext, the named parameters are toggles that are either omitted (default in most cases) or activated (by being assigned a value such as "on", "yes", "true", "include", etc.). They may be included in any order (see Examples below). Certain templates have the parameter "on" by default; see the main table for all alternate options.

{{tlt|Hatnote}}	{{Hatnote}} (talk)
{{ttl|Hatnote}}	{{Hatnote}} (t/l)
{{twlh|Hatnote}}	Template:Hatnote (links, talk)

can be used as a shortcut:

{{subst:convertbs|1=

}}

If it doesn't work, it's possible that you haven't copied some of the relevant code, such as table markup for BS-table diagrams, or that you've copied code which actually belongs to something else.

Example
{{#invoke:Routemap|convertbs|<nowiki> {{BS-map |title=Demonstration |map= {{BS|KBHFa|0 km|A station|Shuttle bus}} {{BS3|WASSERq|hKRZWae|WASSERq||||{{BSsplit|Suburb|Capital}}}} {{BS|KINTe|10 km|B station|City hub}} {{BS-colspan}} ---- Not to scale }} </nowiki>}}
Result
Safe substitution: {{Routemap |title=Demonstration |map= {{safesubst:BS/safesubst|KBHFa|0 km|A station|Shuttle bus}} {{safesubst:BS3/safesubst|WASSERq|hKRZWae|WASSERq||||{{BSsplit|Suburb|Capital}}}} {{safesubst:BS/safesubst|KINTe|10 km|B station|City hub}} -colspan-2 ---- Not to scale }} Original: {{BS-map |title=Demonstration |map= {{BS|KBHFa|0 km|A station|Shuttle bus}} {{BS3|WASSERq|hKRZWae|WASSERq||||{{BSsplit|Suburb|Capital}}}} {{BS|KINTe|10 km|B station|City hub}} {{BS-colspan}} ---- Not to scale }}

Embedding into infobox

• Use {{{inline}}} to remove title bar and table border. If creating a separate template which will be embedded into an infobox, wrap inline=1 in ‎<includeonly>...‎</includeonly> tags. Also {{{navbar pos}}} is helpful to locate the {{Navbar}} better.

{{Infobox station | name = {{color box|orange}} Station layout | image = Placeholder.png | image_upright = 0.5 | image_caption = Platform level | opened = {{Start date|1935|05|15|df=y}} | tracks = 2 | route_map = {{routemap|inline=1|navbar=asd|navbar pos=2| KBHFa~~terminus WASSERq\hKRZWae\WASSERq~~ ~~ ~~ ~~Bridge LDER\INT\~~1 km~~station~~transfer for HSR \KBHFe\BUS~~2 km~~terminus~~bus terminal }} }}
