Template:Italic title/doc

This template can be used to italicise page titles. It should only be used in articles that meet the criteria for italic titles given in the Article titles policy.

Usage
 
 *   italicises the title automatically under certain circumstances. If the title is less than 50 characters in length, italicisation is always performed automatically:
 * Titles with no brackets  are fully italicised:
 * Foo &rarr; Foo
 * Talk:Foo &rarr; Talk:Foo
 * Titles which contain brackets are italicised before the first open bracket:
 * Foo (bar) &rarr; Foo (bar)
 * Talk:Foo (bar) &rarr; Talk:Foo (bar)
 * Titles longer than 50 characters are not automatically italicised. However, you can pass parameters for the template to test the title against: if a match is found, italicisation is performed:
 *  , where "name" is the first part of the title (before any brackets) and the "bracket#" are a list of up to five possible brackets: </tt> will italicise as follows:
 * Foo</tt> &rarr; Foo
 * Foo (bar)</tt> &rarr; Foo (bar)
 * Foo (baz)</tt> &rarr; Foo (baz)
 * Foo (quok)</tt> &rarr; Foo (quok)
 *  </tt> italicises the entire title including brackets, and will also italicise titles with more than 50 characters.

Future development

 * Make the first part of Panic of 1819 (book) be in italics, but not the part in parentheses.
 * Make it possible to italicize pages outside the main namespace.
