Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template presents doggerel in the form of the Burma-shave ads once seen on American highways. It requires the user to write their own text; an alternative ({{Burma-shave-notice}}) offers handy prepackaged notices, in Burma-shave form, for common situations.

Usage

{{Burma-shave
| 1=
| 2=
| 3=

| 5=
| 6=
| layout=
}}

• 1 - First line of the message.
• 2 - Second line of the message.

• 4 - Fourth line of the message.
• 5 - Fifth line of the message.
• 6 - Sixth line of the message.
• layout - The layout to use, default is "vertical". Choices are "horizontal" and "vertical".

Note that parameters 1-6 also work as ordered params, so for example, {{Burma-shave|first line|second line}} is equivalent to {{Burma-shave|1=first line|2=second line}}.
