Template:Circa/doc

Usage
This template generates an abbreviation for circa: c. By default the abbreviation is marked with an HTML   tag, which in most browsers renders as a tooltip when hovered.

Parameters
Using the date itself as parameter (for example, " ", giving "c. 1956"), web browsers do not insert a line break anywhere in the string. By contrast, " " allows a line break between the "c. " and the number. Also, with the date as a parameter a thinner space is used with many browsers:


 * "c. 1956" is generated by " ".
 * "c. 1956" is generated by " ".

If the parameter lk (for "link") is set as "no" or "off", the abbreviation is rendered as "c. ", without a wikilink or abbreviation element. If it is absent, or set to "abbr", the abbreviation is rendered with the HTML  element. If it is set to "yes" or "on", it is rendered as "c. ", with a wikilink to the wikt:circa article in Wiktionary and not an abbreviation element. can be used to avoid overlinking when this template is used repeatedly in the body of an article. For example:


 * → Dionysius Exiguus was born c. 470, lived in Rome from c. 500, and died c. 544.
 * → Dionysius Exiguus was born c. 470, lived in Rome from c. 500, and died c. 544.
