This is the basic infobox-style header template used to display xkcd comics on their own pages, including the comic number (with external link to xkcd), publication date, title, comic image, and title text.
Sample
The following is a sample usage of this template:
| Monty Python -- Enough |
 Title text: I went to a dinner where there was a full 10 minutes of Holy Grail quotes exchanged, with no context, in lieu of conversation. It depressed me badly. |
Usage
{{comic
| number =
| date =
| title =
| before =
| image =
| custom =
| imagesize =
| noexpand =
| titletext =
| ldomain =
| lappend =
}}
Notes
- At least the number, title and image are required.
- The date should be written in the form: January 1, 2006
- The imagesize field is optional.
- The comic's width will be limited to the set size. Format must be in pixels (eg: "350px")
- The comic's height may be set by adding an 'x' to the start (eg: "x350px")
- Warning: If the size is larger than the image, the image will be stretched.
- The noexpand field is optional.
- It is used in conjunction with imagesize, hiding the "Click comic to enlarge" button
- To use this option, you must set it to
true
- before is a special field for inserting text before the comic. One use is for extremely large comics (e.g. Umwelt), to skip to the explanation.
- If the custom field is not empty, the image field will be ignored and be replaced with any text that you put in the custom field.
- if number is left undefined, most of the navigation bar will be disabled.
- lappend must be defined as
...kd.com/'''lappend'''
to keep the link to xkcd.com valid. - If the link is to eg. a blog post (blog.xkcd.com) ldomain can be defined as
blog
to change the subdomain in the link.
- lappend must be defined as
The above sample is produced by the following code:
{{comic
| number = 16
| date = October 4, 2005
| title = Monty Python -- Enough
| image = monty_python.jpg
| titletext = I went to a dinner where there was a full 10 minutes of Holy Grail quotes exchanged, with no context, in lieu of conversation. It depressed me badly.
}}
