Template:Family tree/doc

Purpose
Family tree is used to create a family tree diagram. It must be preceded by Family tree/start and followed by Family tree/end.

Usage
Example:


 *

 * (additional repetitions of Family tree template, as needed)
 *  

Each Family tree line can have as many values as needed, each separated by a pipe (  |  ).

People listed in each Family tree line must first be assigned a three-letter code, then defined later in the line. The following example creates a box for David, Elizabeth and an Unknown person, with a space in between each of them:

Connection lines
Lines to connect character boxes together are designated by a single command. The commands are as follows:
