<templatedata> { "params": { "url": { "required": true, "label": "URL", "description": "URL of post", "type": "string" }, "title": { "label": "Title", "description": "Title of post", "type": "string", "suggested": true }, "date": { "label": "Date", "description": "Original date of post", "type": "string", "suggested": true }, "access-date": { "label": "Access date", "description": "Date you accessed the post" }, "mailing-list": { "label": "Mailing list", "description": "List where post was made", "type": "string", "suggested": true }, "last": { "label": "Last name", "description": "Last name of author", "type": "string", "suggested": true }, "first": { "label": "First name", "description": "First name of author", "type": "string", "suggested": true } }, "description": "Citation for information found in a mailing list post" } </templatedata>

Syntax

Nested parameters rely on their parent parameters:

  • parent
  • OR: parent2—may be used instead of parent
    • child—may be used with parent (and is ignored if parent is not used)
    • OR: child2—may be used instead of child (and is ignored if parent2 is not used)
Where aliases are listed, only one of the parameters may be defined; if multiple aliased parameters are defined, then only one will show.

This template embeds COinS metadata in the HTML output, allowing reference management software to retrieve bibliographic metadata.
