Template:Algebraic notation/doc

This template is used in WikiProject Chess articles containing chess moves written in algebraic notation. It generates a {{side box}} to alert the reader to the fact, and provides a link to Algebraic notation. The tag comes in three flavors:

Articles

To place right, specify: {{algebraic notation}} or {{algebraic notation|pos=right}}
To place left, specify: {{algebraic notation|pos=left}}
To place adjacent to the TOC, specify: {{algebraic notation|pos=tocleft}} or {{algebraic notation|pos=toc}} or {{algebraic notation|pos=TOC}}

Sections

To place right, specify: {{algebraic notation|pos=secright}} or {{algebraic notation|pos=section}}
To place left, specify: {{algebraic notation|pos=secleft}}

Examples

To place right, specify: {{algebraic notation|pos=egright}} or {{algebraic notation|pos=example}}
To place left, specify: {{algebraic notation|pos=egleft}}

Tips:

• Avoid using an article-level tag in a biography article. (It detracts from the lead image.) Use a section-level tag(s), or diagram-level tag(s), instead.
• Try to place section-level tags nearest where they're needed. (For example, if a section is long and chess moves appear only in a later subsection, use the tag in the subsection.)
• Unlike the other options, pos=tocleft and pos=toc and pos=TOC generate the template sequence:

  {{TOC left}} <br />
{{algebraic notation|pos=left}}
{{clear left}}
  

  ... so it won't always work as desired when competing images exist to the right. In that case, first isolate the competing images using the template {{stack|image1|image2}}.
