Template:Austroposse/doc

Tables of Austrian government ministers and certain other department or office heads will often have three or more distinct sections because Austria likes to rename things around. The State Secretariat of Agriculture becomes the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry, then the State Secretariat of Agriculture and Forestry, then the Ministry of Agriculture but no Forestry, and at this point we're still only about half way in.

This reduces duplication, helps ensure consistency, and lets us change the visual presentation of the subheadings in one place as opposed to in 100+ places.

The template takes three named parameters:
