== Usage ==

The '''[[French Republican Calendar]]''' was a highly structured, if short-lived, calendar intended to make its users more aware of the natural world around them.

The three templates {{tl|FrRepCalHead}}, {{tl|FrRepCalLine}} and {{tl|FrRepCalFoot}} have been set up to highlight some of the patterns in the structure by using formatted tables to display the calendar information.  The three templates will respectively open a table, display a table row of calendar information, and close the table.

== Syntax ==
 <nowiki>{{ FrRepCalHead | Legend | PicFile }}</nowiki>
where
* ''Legend''. The month name, and its date range in the Gregorian date system, used as a column header in the calendar table.
* ''PicFile''. An optional image file to display at the top of the month column.

== Example ==
 <nowiki>{| style="background:#ffffff;"
 |-
 {{FrRepCalHead | [[Brumaire]]<br />(22 October ~ 20 November) | Brumaire commence le 23 octobre.jpg }}
 {{FrRepCalLine | 1 | 22 Oct | Pomme | [[Apple]] }}
 {{FrRepCalLine | 2 | 23 Oct | Céleri | [[Celery]] }}
 {{FrRepCalFoot}}
 |}</nowiki>

will display as 
{| style="background:#ffffff;"
 |-
 {{FrRepCalHead | [[Brumaire]]<br />(22 October ~ 20 November) | Brumaire commence le 23 octobre.jpg }}
 {{FrRepCalLine | 1 | 22 Oct | Pomme | [[Apple]] }}
 {{FrRepCalLine | 2 | 23 Oct | Céleri | [[Celery]] }}
 {{FrRepCalFoot}}
 |}

Each block of calls to format table rows with {{tl|FrRepCalLine}} should be preceded by a call to {{tl|FrRepCalHead}} to start the table, and followed by a {{tl|FrRepCalFoot}} to close it.  For more information on the other templates, see their own documentation.
