Template:NYCS/doc

Parameters

All are optional.

The link text, if left blank the value from |1= will be used

3 (or third unnamed parameter)

If given will provide a link ^{{{3}}} to be used in place of the Template:Tl.

4 (or fourth unnamed parameter)

If given, would change the suffix of the link to "(New York City Subway <fourth parameter>)", to link to subway cars and other places as well

alt

If given, will provide an alternate value to link to, aside from [first parameter] (New York City Subway service)

bold

If given, will put boldface on the link text

service

If given, will append the text "train" or "service" after the service link.
