Template:Acap
This template is for specifying a work as being a cappella, or possibly a cappella with extra information. In every instance, page is categorized in Category:a cappella, with the option to specify a sort key (differing from the default) for the listing in Category:a cappella.
Note: this template supercedes Template:a cappella because it operates in the same way as other accompaniment templates (ie. it doesn't include the "Instruments:" designator before "a cappella").
Syntax, without any parameters:
- {{acap}}
which inserts
- [[:Category:a cappella|''a cappella'']][[Category:a_cappella|{{PAGENAME}}]]
into a file, appearing as
a cappella
Syntax, with an extra information parameter:
- {{acap|<value>}}
which inserts
- [[:Category:a cappella|''a cappella'']]<value>[[Category:a_cappella|{{PAGENAME}}]]
into a file, appearing as
a cappella<value>
For example,
- {{acap|, or optional kazoo}}
produces
a cappella, or optional kazoo
Syntax with a sort key parameter (and no extra information parameter):
- {{acap|9=<sort key>}}
which inserts
- [[:Category:a cappella|''a cappella'']][[Category:a_cappella|<sort key>]]
into a file.
Syntax with both parameters:
- {{acap|<value>|9=<sort key}}
which inserts
- [[:Category:a cappella|''a cappella'']]<value>[[Category:a_cappella|<sort key>]]
into a file.
In both of these latter two instances, the page is sorted in Category:a cappella with <sort key> as the the sort key (instead of the default {{PAGENAME}} sort key).
As examples,
- {{acap|9=Haven, The (Charles Villiers Stanford))}}<br>
on the page The Haven (Charles Villiers Stanford) produces
a cappella
with the page sorted under "H" rather than under "T". Or,
- {{acap|, with optional {{PnoAcc|piano}} accompaniment.|9=Haven, The (Charles Villiers Stanford))}}<br>
on the page The Haven (Charles Villiers Stanford) produces
a cappella, with optional piano accompaniment
Again, the page is sorted in Category:a cappella under "H" rather than under "T".
Note: In this last example the Template:PnoAcc gets expanded properly.
