Template:HABS/doc

This is a template for linking to entries in the Historic American Buildings Survey database on the Library of Congress website. Sample usage is as follows:

Required parameters:
 * . The "Survey Number" from the HABS database entry. Always consists of a two-letter state abbreviation (all upper case) followed by a hyphen and one or more numbers. Subsidiary structures on a common site may have a second hyphen followed by one or more letters. (Some older HABS surveys have numbers instead of letters after the second hyphen.)
 * . The last six digits from the "Bookmark This Record" link given in the HABS database entry. Always consists of a two-letter state abbreviation (all lower case) followed by four numbers.
 * . The "Title" from the HABS database entry. You may include only the name of the structure and omit any subsequent information about location, etc.

Optional parameters: This template is for Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) entries only.
 * . The number of photos listed in the HABS database entry.
 * . The number of color transparencies listed in the HABS database entry.
 * . The number of measured drawings listed in the HABS database entry.
 * . The number of data pages listed in the HABS database entry. Note that the database will typically display a "Data Pages" box, even if no data pages are listed, because this is the hard copy record cover sheet; the cover sheet does not count as a data page.
 * . The number of photo caption pages listed in the HABS database entry.
 * . Set to "yes" if supplemental material is shown in the HABS database entry.
 * . Set to "no" for subsequent instances of this template on the same page; this will shorten the output from "Historic American Buildings Survey" to "HABS" and avoid overlinking.
