; Chronology
If the play is one in a series by the same author, you may use {{para|last_play}} and {{para|next_play}} to link to the previous and next play in the series. By default, the heading for this section is set to the writer's name. To override this choice, use {{para|chronology}}.

=== Controlling line-breaking in embedded bulletless lists ===
Template {{tlx|nbsp}} may be used with {{tlx|wbr}} and {{tlx|nowrap}} to control line-breaking in bulletless lists embedded in the infobox (e.g. characters, writers, and other content marked up with {{tlx|plainlist}}), to prevent wrapped long entries from being confused with multiple entries. See [[Template:Wbr/doc#Controlling line-breaking in infoboxes]] for details.
