This is the basic infobox-style header template used to display xkcd comics on their own pages, including the comic number (with external link to xkcd), publication date, title, comic image, and title text.

Sample

The following is a sample usage of this template [Note: Date is left blank on this sample so that the template does not auto-categorize this page]:

Monty Python -- Enough
I went to a dinner where there was a full 10 minutes of Holy Grail quotes exchanged, with no context, in lieu of conversation.  It depressed me badly.
[Click comic to enlarge]
Title text: I went to a dinner where there was a full 10 minutes of Holy Grail quotes exchanged, with no context, in lieu of conversation. It depressed me badly.

Usage

{{comic
| number    = 
| date      = 
| title     = 
| image     = 
| imagesize = 
| titletext = 
}}

Notes

  • The date should be written in the form: January 1, 2006
  • The imagesize field is optional for larger comics. The comic's larger dimension (height or width) will be limited to the set size. Warning: If the size is larger than the image, the image will be stretched. Format must be in pixels (eg: "350px")

The above sample is produced by the following code [Note: Date is left blank on this sample so that the template does not auto-categorize this page]: [

{{comic
| number    = 16
| date      = 
| title     = Monty Python -- Enough
| image     = Monty python.jpg
| imagesize = 350px
| titletext = I went to a dinner where there was a full 10 minutes of Holy Grail quotes exchanged, with no context, in lieu of conversation.  It depressed me badly.
