Operation

Although a number of templates are used to produce these tables, they are all accessed though {{el-decl-adj}}, only this one should be used.

The table below attempts to show its operation:

el-decl-adj   with 'dec','stem',+ others
	call el-decl-adj-positive with 'dec','stem',+others       print table outline for positive forms       selects declension template to match 'dec'
		in this case dec='ος-η-ο', therefore: call el-decl-adj-ος-η-ο with stem,+others       sets appropriate numbered arguments for:
			call el-decl-adj-table with numbered arguments      print values in appropriate cells
	print footers
	if 'compstem' call el-decl-adj-degrees with 'compstem','abstem','note'       print degrees of comparison table(s) outline       nb 'ος-η-ο' is the standard paradigm for these forms
		call el-decl-adj-ος-η-ο with 'compstem'       sets appropriate numbered arguments for:
			call el-decl-adj-table with numbered arguments      print values in appropriate cells
		if 'abstem' call el-decl-adj-ος-η-ο with 'abstem'       sets appropriate numbered arguments for:
			call el-decl-adj-table with numbered arguments      print values in appropriate cells
	print footer
