Editing Template:S-start/doc (section)

====S-tul====
''S-tul'' is used instead of ''s-ttl'' to signify that a title (usually a regnal one) is held by a person, but the power normally associated with it is not. This may take two forms: titular rulers and pretenders.

*Titular rulers are people who legitimately deserve a title yet are somehow incapable of securing it, as in the case of [[Janos Slynt]], [[Lord of Harrenhal]] during the early years of the [[War of the Five Kings]]. Generally, a titular ruler's title will again be inherited by someone with power and remains only temporarily suspended. There is generally only one titular claimant to a title.

*[[Pretender]]s are people who may or may not have a rightful claim to a title, but regardless do not possess any legitimate authority. Examples of this include [[Stannis Baratheon]], [[Renly Baratheon]], [[Daemon I Blackfyre]], etc. Pretenders are not always successive, as titular leaders generally are, and there can be multiple pretenders at the same time (as in the War of the Five Kings).

''S-tul'' is used for the above described cases because of its basic difference from ''s-ttl'': the word "Titular" appears above the title in the displayed cell, and there are formatting differences as well. Apart from the obligatory "title" parameter and the optional but basic "years" parameter (as well as the omnipresent "rows" parameter), this template accepts no parameters.

Here follows an example of the usage of ''Template:S-tul'', taken from the article of [[Janos Slynt]]:

::<nowiki>{{s-start}}</nowiki>
::<nowiki>{{s-bef|before=[[Shella Whent]]}}</nowiki>
::<nowiki>{{s-tul|title=[[Lord of Harrenhal]]|years={{Date|298|299}}}}</nowiki>
::<nowiki>{{s-aft|after=[[Vargo Hoat]]}}</nowiki>
::<nowiki>{{s-end}}</nowiki>

Which will appear like this:

{{s-start}}
{{s-bef|before=[[Shella Whent]]}}
{{s-tul|title=[[Lord of Harrenhal]]|years{{Date|298|299}}}}
{{s-aft|after=[[Vargo Hoat]]}}
{{s-end}}
