Template:S-inc/doc

This template creates a single succession box column for incumbents to be used with succession boxes. It is only meant to be used in the right column of succession boxes.

Usage
The format is, where parameter= is replaced by one or more of the parameter names shown in the following table. The code without any parameters defaults to Incumbent.


 * current — Replaces Incumbent with Current holder
 * recent — Replaces Incumbent with Most recent
 * heir — Designates the heir of the current incumbent, thus allowing the succession chain to continue as a list of heirs
 * heir-type — Replaces "Heir" with the inserted text, preferably one of "Heir apparent", "Heir presumptive", "Coadjutor bishop"

Note: Template:s-ttl does not allow for a template to have an incumbent, so editors must add "– present" after the first date. If using the "recent" parameter, this is not necessary.

This template allows for multiple row-spans using the parameter |rows=| between the template name and the first parameter.

Example
From the Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom article:
