Template:BOOKCATEGORY/doc

This template generates the name for the book-category of the book associated with the current page. There is precedent for change in this naming convention; at this writing the category is named, while historically it was named.

Usage
Simply place  on a page to get the output.

Optionally specify a page as an unnamed parameter to see the output for a different page than the current one.

Optionally specify the book name as parameter  to derive the associated book category name, bypassing the algorithm for deducing book name from page name; useful for deriving book category name when book name is already known, as in BookCat.

Internals
This template contains the logic to sort out the base-name of the book. During the transition from the old naming scheme to the new one, a subtemplate BOOKCATEGORY/core was used to deduce the associated book-category name by determining which naming scheme the particular book used.
