Parametri template[Modifica dati del modello]
Questo template preferisce la formattazione in linea dei parametri.
Parametro		Descrizione	Tipo	Stato
Type	`type`	The type of act cited, to be used if the legislation isn't called an act, such as in bills. When citing a specific section, use the name of that specific section, be it Directive, Clause, Article, etc. Predefinito Act	Stringa	consigliato
Index	`index` `number`	The index of the Type parameter. For when citing specific sections, this is the specific index of that section, and so if you're specifically citing clause '''A/500 - B''', that'll be what is written in this field.	Stringa	consigliato
Date	`date` `year`	The date the legislation was passed, unless there's some other date or year that appears in the name of the act. Must be in DMY, MDY, MY or Y date format.	Data	obbligatorio
Article	`article`	The path of articles leading to the cited article abbreviated; doesn't mentions section types such as chapter, section, article, etc.	Stringa	consigliato
Article type	`article-type`	The type of the highest ranking article in the article path. Only appears if the Article parameter is set to something. Predefinito Article	Stringa	facoltativo

Name	`title`	A unique given name of the specific cited act or article	Stringa	facoltativo
