Template:Family tree/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Family tree. It contains usage information, categories, and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
Parameters
This template produces a family tree table. The template accepts any number of unnamed parameters describing the contents of the table. Each parameter specifies a tile or a box, or a line break.
Tiles
Tiles are line drawing symbols consisting of horizontal and vertical lines and various corners and crossings thereof. Tiles are specified using single-character-symbols that more or less approximate the shape of the tile in appearance. A special case of a tile is the empty tile, specified by one or more space characters. A table of supported tiles is given below.

Boxes
A box will be formed from any parameter that contains more than two characters. A box is three tiles wide and one tile long, regardless of the string length, so plan the graph accordingly.
Specifics
For characters that have their title or multiple names included in their article name, use the first name only, if possible.
For deceased characters, add a dagger (†) beside their name, separated by a space.
