Template:Ask Table Formatter/doc

This template allows any table created by the "#ask" to use the Template: STDT formatting properly, including the shaded first cell.

Parameters

This template does not use traditional template parameters, instead it is fed up to 10 parameters to display by the #ask itself. Further, up to three ratios can be defined to be displayed as the final columns in the table be defining the following wiki variables

1. Ratio 1 = formatterNumeratorVariable1 / formatterDenominatorVariable1 * formatterFactorVariable1
2. Ratio 2 = formatterNumeratorVariable2 / formatterDenominatorVariable2 * formatterFactorVariable2
3. Ratio 3 = formatterNumeratorVariable3 / formatterDenominatorVariable3 * formatterFactorVariable3

Keep in mind the whitespace created when defining these variables on new lines.

Note: the #ask must also use the | link = none parameter.

Examples

Example 1 - Basic

<div><li style="display: inline-table;">
{| {{STDT| sortable c_08 text-center}}
! Insectoid !! Meat Amount
|-
{{#ask: [[Category:Insectoid]] 
 | ?Meat Yield
 | format = template
 | template = Ask Table Formatter
 | link = none
}}
</li></div>

Produces:

Insectoid	Meat Amount
Megascarab	31
Megascarab cocoon
Megaspider	168
Megaspider cocoon
Spelopede	112
Spelopede cocoon

Example 2 - Ratios

<div><li style="display: inline-table;">{{#vardefine:formatterNumeratorVariable1|Daily Milk Average}}{{#vardefine:formatterDenominatorVariable1|Real Hunger Rate}}{{#vardefine:formatterNumeratorVariable2|Daily Milk Average}}{{#vardefine:formatterDenominatorVariable2|Real Hunger Rate}}{{#vardefine:formatterFactorVariable2|0.05}}
{| {{STDT| sortable c_08 text-center}}
! Animal !! Milk Amount !! Milking<br/>Interval !! Milk/Day<br/>(Average) !! Milk / food consumed<br/>per day !! Nutrition / food consumed<br/>per day
|-
{{#ask: [[Concept:Production Animals]] [[Milk Amount::+]] [[Milk Name::Milk]]
| ?Milk Amount
| ?Milking Interval Days
| ?Daily Milk Average
| format = template
| template = Ask Table Formatter
| link = none}}
|}
</li></div>

Produces:

Animal	Milk Amount	Milking Interval	Milk/Day (Average)	Milk / food consumed per day	Nutrition / food consumed per day
Caribou	10	2	5	11.36	0.57
Cow	14	1	14	16.28	0.81
Dromedary	18	2	9	10.47	0.52
Elk	11	1	11	12.79	0.64
