Template:Almanacco/doc

Usage
This template provides a wrapper around accesses to the L'Almanacco di Gherardo Casaglia, an important online almanac of events in opera and classical music, indexed and accessed by date. Using such a wrapper helps isolate Wikipedia's links from changes in website addresses, structures and syntax.

The template allows the Almanacco to be searched by either date or text, or a combination of the two. In general, to return a single entry both the date and a text must be supplied.

Syntax of search parameters
where
 * string is a sequence of one or more words (or part words) to match exactly in the Almanacco entries. The string should not be enclosed in quotes.
 * date is a complete MOS:DATES compliant date; the old format once required by this template is still supported but is discouraged.

Syntax of display parameters
The template will automatically create a label for the link, showing the standard information about the almanac, and the input parameters in a readable format. Examples: will display as:

You can override this default linking text by using the  option. The linktext should not include double quotes marks. Example: will display as:

To suppress the rest of the words in the template output, and get the bare link on its own, include the  option. Example: will display as:
 * – this date format is discouraged
