Template:NumBlk/doc

This template creates a numbered block which is usually used to number mathematical formulae. This template can be used together with EquationRef to produce nicely formatted numbered equations if a back reference to an equation is wanted.

Parameters
Parameters,  , and  of this template are required. In addition, there are two optional parameters and.  : Specify indentation. The more colons you put, the further indented the block will be, up to a limit of 20. This parameter can be empty if no indentation is needed.  : The body or content of the block.  : Specify the block number.  : Assigned with a non-empty or non-whitespaced string to remove the formatting on the number and the parentheses surrounding the number.  : Specify the line style.  : If set, put a box around the equation. (Experimental.)

Positioning relative to surrounding images
Numbered blocks should be able to be placed around images that take up space on the left or right side of the screen. To ensure numbered block has access to the entire line, consider using a clear-like template.

To illustrate, consider the example: A Bayesian network (or a belief network) is a probabilistic graphical model that represents a set of variables and their probabilistic independencies. For example, a Bayesian network could represent the probabilistic relationships between diseases and symptoms. Given symptoms, the network can be used to compute the probabilities of the presence of various diseases.

For example, a Bayesian network could represent the probabilistic relationships between diseases and symptoms. Given symptoms, the network can be used to compute the probabilities of the presence of various diseases.

If it is desirable for the numbered block to span the entire line, a clear should be placed before it. A Bayesian network (or a belief network) is a probabilistic graphical model that represents a set of variables and their probabilistic independencies. For example, a Bayesian network could represent the probabilistic relationships between diseases and symptoms. Given symptoms, the network can be used to compute the probabilities of the presence of various diseases.

Table caveat
Because NumBlk is implemented as a table, putting NumBlk within a table yields a nested table. Due to a bug in Mediawiki's handling of nested tables, NumBlk must be used carefully in this case. In particular, when indentation for the outer table is desired, use explicit    and    tags for indentation instead of a leading colon.

For example,   produces 

 which shows how the outer    and    tags give the same indentation as a single colon preceding the table should.

For another example, <dl><dd> <dl><dd> </dd></dl> </dd></dl> produces <dl><dd> <dl><dd>

</dd></dl> </dd></dl> which uses two sets of explicit tags to give the same indentation as two colons.
