This template has an associated sandbox, available at Template:comic/sandbox.
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.
Example
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, andimageare required.
- The
dateshould be written in the form:January 1, 2006
- The
imagesizefield 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
imagesizeis larger than theimage, the image will be stretched.
- The
noexpandfield 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
- It is used in conjunction with
-
beforeis a special field for inserting text before the comic. One use is for extremely large comics (e.g., 1732: Earth Temperature Timeline), to skip to the explanation.
- If the
customfield is not empty, the image field will be ignored and be replaced with any text that you put in thecustomfield.
- If
numberis left undefined, most of the navigation bar will be disabled.-
lappendmust be defined as...kd.com/LAPPEND/
to keep the link to xkcd.com valid. - For example, if the link is to a blog post (blog.xkcd.com),
ldomaincan be defined asblog
to change the subdomain in the link.
-
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.
}}
