== Presentation parameters ==

=== Italic titles ===
Titles of articles with infoboxes may be made italic, in line with [[WP:ITALICTITLE]], by passing the <code>italic title</code> parameter.

* Turn on italic titles by passing {{para|italic title|<nowiki>{{{italic title|}}}</nowiki>}} from the infobox.
* Turn off by default (notably because only Latin script may be safely rendered in this style and italic may be needed to distinguish foreign language from local English language only in that script, but would be difficult to read for other scripts) but allow some instances to be made italic by passing {{para|italic title|<nowiki>{{{italic title|no}}}</nowiki>}}
* Do not make any titles italic by not passing the parameter at all.

=== CSS styling ===
{{div col}}
; bodystyle : Applies to the infobox table as a whole
; titlestyle : Applies only to the title caption. Adding a background color is usually inadvisable since the text is rendered "outside" the infobox.
; abovestyle : Applies only to the "above" cell at the top. The default style has font-size:125%; since this cell is usually used for a title, if you want to use the above cell for regular-sized text include "font-size:100%;" in the abovestyle.
; imagestyle : Applies to the cell the image is in. This includes the text of the image caption, but you should set text properties with captionstyle instead of imagestyle in case the caption is moved out of this cell in the future.
; captionstyle : Applies to the text of the image caption.
; rowstyle(n) : This parameter is inserted into the <code>style</code> attribute for the specified row.
; headerstyle : Applies to all header cells
; subheaderstyle : Applies to all subheader cells
; labelstyle : Applies to all label cells
; datastyle : Applies to all data cells
; belowstyle : Applies only to the below cell
{{div col end}}

=== HTML classes and microformats ===
{{div col}}
; bodyclass : This parameter is inserted into the <code>class</code> attribute for the infobox as a whole.
; titleclass : This parameter is inserted into the <code>class</code> attribute for the infobox's '''title''' caption.
<!-- currently not implemented in Lua module
; aboverowclass : This parameter is inserted into the <code>class</code> attribute for the complete table row the '''above''' cell is on.
-->
; aboveclass : This parameter is inserted into the <code>class</code> attribute for the infobox's '''above''' cell.
; subheaderrowclass(n) : This parameter is inserted into the <code>class</code> attribute for the complete table row the '''subheader''' is on.
; subheaderclass(n) : This parameter is inserted into the <code>class</code> attribute for the infobox's '''subheader'''.
; imagerowclass(n) : These parameters are inserted into the <code>class</code> attribute for the complete table row their respective '''image''' is on.
; imageclass : This parameter is inserted into the <code>class</code> attribute for the '''image'''.
; rowclass(n) : This parameter is inserted into the <code>class</code> attribute for the specified row including the '''label''' and '''data''' cells.
; class(n) : This parameter is inserted into the <code>class</code> attribute for the '''data''' cell of the specified row. If there's no '''data''' cell it has no effect.
<!-- currently not implemented in Lua module
; belowrowclass : This parameter is inserted into the <code>class</code> attribute for the complete table row the '''below''' cell is on.
-->
; belowclass : This parameter is inserted into the <code>class</code> attribute for the infobox's '''below''' cell.
{{div col end}}

This template supports the addition of microformat information. This is done by adding "class" attributes to various data cells, indicating what kind of information is contained within. Multiple class names may be specified, separated by spaces, some of them being used as selectors for custom styling according to a project policy or to the skin selected in user preferences, others being used for microformats.

To flag an infobox as containing [[hCard]] information, for example, add the following parameter:

<pre style="overflow:auto">
 | bodyclass = vcard
</pre>{{clear}}

And for each row containing a data cell that's part of the vcard, add a corresponding class parameter:

<pre style="overflow:auto">
 | class1 = fn
 | class2 = org
 | class3 = tel
</pre>{{clear}}

...and so forth. "above" and "title" can also be given classes, since these are usually used to display the name of the subject of the infobox.

See [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Microformats]] for more information on adding microformat information to Wikipedia, and [[microformat]] for more information on microformats in general.
