Template:enm-timeline/documentation

---

This is a timeline template for words with Middle English quotations.

{{enm-timeline
| ang =
| 1000s =
| 1100s =
| 1200s =
| 1300s =
| 1400s =
| enm =
}}

If more than one date exists for a century, separate them with spaces, and they should bottom-align.

All parameters are optional. If none are given, the timeline will be blank, as it should be above. This timeline is probably not suitable for other languages than English, which may want longer or shorter timelines, or links back to different prior languages (or forward to later ones?).

Please feel free to gussy up this template any way that seems necessary, I'm not very good at pretty format.
