Usage

This template generates an abbreviation for circa: c.arz:قالب:Circa By default the abbreviation is marked with <abbr>.

Examples

Syntax What it looks like Notes
{{circa}} 1325 c.arz:قالب:Circa 1325 Default style; line break allowed between "c.arz:قالب:Circa" and "1325"; normal-width space
{{circa|1325}} c. 1325arz:قالب:Circa Default style: no line break allowed; thin space
{{circa|1325|i=yes}} c. 1325arz:قالب:Circa With italic "c.", though italics are discouraged at MOS:CIRCA
{{circa|1325|lk=abbr}} c. 1325arz:قالب:Circa With abbreviation marking only (default)
{{circa|1325|lk=yes}} c. 1325arz:قالب:Circa With link only
{{circa|1325|lk=no}} c. 1325arz:قالب:Circa With neither link nor abbreviation marking
{{circa|1000|1050}} c. 1000 – c. 1050arz:قالب:Circa For ranges

Parameters

Using the date itself as parameter (for example, "{{circa|1956}}", giving "c. 1956arz:قالب:Circa"), web browsers do not insert a line break anywhere in the string. By contrast, "{{circa}} 1956" allows a line break between the "c.arz:قالب:Circa" and the number. Also, with the date as a parameter a thinner space is used with many browsers:

If the parameter |i= is set to a non-empty value, the "c." is put in italics: for example, "{{circa|i=''}}" generates "c.arz:قالب:Circa" instead of "c.arz:قالب:Circa".

If the parameter |lk= (for "link") is set as "|lk=no" or "|lk=off", the abbreviation is rendered as "c.arz:قالب:Circa", without a wikilink or abbreviation element. If it is set to "|lk=abbr", it is rendered with the abbreviation element but without the wikilink. If it is set to "|lk=yes" or "|lk=on", it is rendered as "c.arz:قالب:Circa", with a wikilink to the circa article and not an abbreviation element. Otherwise, the abbreviation is marked with the "<abbr>" element, as in "c.arz:قالب:Circa", and linked to the circa article. The lk parameter can be used to avoid overuse of "<abbr>" or overlinking when this template is used repeatedly in the body of an article. For example:

If the parameter "cap=yes" is specified, the result starts with a capital letter.

If the parameter "sortable=yes" is specified, the template generates invisible text that will cause the output to work in sortable tables, at the cost of causing problems for visually-impaired readers. Compare "Col 1" and "Col 2" in the following table:

Title Col 1 Col 2
Foo 1066 1066
Bar c.arz:قالب:Circa 1510 1510c. 1510arz:قالب:Circa
Baz 1956 1956
Jaz c.arz:قالب:Circa 410 410c. 410arz:قالب:Circa

"Col 1" uses {{Circa}} 1510, and does not sort correctly. "Col 2" uses {{Circa|1510|sortable=yes}}, and does sort correctly. This works because {{Circa|1510|sortable=yes}} inserts an invisible span element at the start of the cell: <span style="display:none;">1510</span>. Although it is not rendered, it is still seen by the sorting code and makes sorting work.

The downside of this approach is that the invisible text is still rendered by screen readers that are used by visually impaired readers, and by text browsers such as Lynx, so the table will become garbled for readers who are using assistive technology or text browsers.
