![]() | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Cladex. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
This template is an eXtended version of {{Clade}}, hence the name. Both templates are for drawing branching trees with the node and base labels being clickable links. Such diagrams are especially suited to represent evolutionary trees (cladograms).
Most of the documentation is the same as the parent template, {{Clade}}, and is included hereafter for convenience. Unless the two extra features of {{Cladex}} are needed, you are advised to use {{Clade}}.
The two extra features of {{Cladex}} are:
- Double lines leading to a node can be produced as easily as dotted lines.
- Brackets or bars of a chosen colour can be placed to the right of a set of leaf nodes in the cladogram, thus allowing paraphyletic groups to be identified. See #Bracketting nodes. Text labels for these brackets/bars can be provided using {{Barlabel}}.
{{Clade}} and {{Cladex}} can be freely mixed, so, if only some clades require the extra features, only these need be specified using {{Cladex}}.
