Template:Launch log/doc

Header
is used to create a new header. It should only be used once per log, at the top of the log.


 * * - if any launches in the log require this, include it, even if other launches do not require it.

All fields are optional.

Entries
Launch log entries are added using and. This can be called in two ways, using short or full syntax. The short syntax is simpler, but cannot support more than one payload per launch, whereas the full syntax can support any number of payloads.


 * Short syntax (0-1 payloads only)
 * * - must only be used if the local field of the header is set to yes
 * † - include pad only if OneSite is set to yes in the header, otherwise include both site and pad if known
 * ‡ - should only be used if the payload field of the header is set to yes, or is undefined. Payload details should document the payloads at the time of launch, not later in their flight (ie. their original names and operators, and the orbit which they were in immediately after launch, should be the information provided)


 * Full syntax (supports any number of payloads)
 * * - must be equal to the number of transclusions of Launch/Payload in the payload section of this launch
 * † - must only be used if the local field of the header is set to yes
 * ‡ - if OneSite is set to yes in the header then include the pad only, otherwise include both site and pad if known
 * ‖ - should only be used if the payload field of the header is set to yes, or is undefined. Payload details should document the payloads at the time of launch, not later in their flight (ie. their original names and operators, and the orbit which they were in immediately after launch, should be the information provided)
 * ¶ - number of templates should be equal to the value of NoPL, each template should start on the same line that its predecessor ended on.

Breaks in the log
To insert a break in the launch log table, insert a cell with colspan of 6, followed by whatever content needs to be placed in the break, and then a new row symbol:

End of the log
At the end of the launch log, place the end table symbol:
