Default behavior

This template provides links for up to three text pages. Its default behavior is to italicize all links except those that begin with Psalm as in:

{{LinkText|Ave verum corpus}}

producing

Original text and translations may be found at Ave verum corpus.

{{LinkText|2|Psalm 131|Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme}}

producing (for two pages)

Original text and translations may be found at Psalm 131 and Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme.

and

{{LinkText|3|O magnum mysterium|Ave Maria|Psalm 150}}

producing (for three pages)

Original text and translations may be found at O magnum mysterium, Ave Maria and Psalm 150.

Specifying italics or plain display explicitly

However, one may override this default behavior by setting the parameter |st= (for no italics) or |st='' (for italics) as in the following example:

{{LinkText|Messiah|st=}}

producing (the preferred)

Original text and translations may be found at Messiah.

When linking to more than one text, the parameter |st= applies to each link display, and this can produce undesired results, such as:

{{LinkText|3|Messiah|Pie Jesu|Psalm 118|st=''}}

producing (not good)

Original text and translations may be found at Messiah, Pie Jesu, and Psalm 118.

or

{{LinkText|3|Messiah|Pie Jesu|Psalm 118|st=}}

producing (not good)

Original text and translations may be found at Messiah, Pie Jesu, and Psalm 118.

For linking to 2 or 3 text pages: Instead of using the "blanket" parameter |st=, one can specify whether to italicize or not with the parameters |st1= (for the first parameter), |st2= (for the second parameter), and |st3= (for the third parameter). For example,

{{LinkText|3|Hallelujah|Lamentations of Jeremiah|Paulus|st1=''|st2=|st3=''}}

produces

Original text and translations may be found at Hallelujah, Lamentations of Jeremiah, and Paulus.

The same result could be obtained with

{{LinkText|3|Hallelujah|Lamentations of Jeremiah|Paulus|st2=}}

since "Hallelujah" and "Paulus" would be italicized by default.

Extended syntax examples

To add more information after a link, when there is just one link, use the following scheme:

{{LinkText|Ave Maria|{{sp}}- ''Virgo serena''.}}

produces

Original text and translations may be found at Ave Maria - Virgo serena.

and

{{LinkText|Lamentations of Jeremiah|{{sp}}'''1:1-5'''.|st=}}

(note the default italics have been overridden with "|st=") produces

Original text and translations may be found at Lamentations of Jeremiah 1:1-5.

For 2 or 3 links, use the following example:

{{LinkText|3|Psalm 126|Lamentations of Jeremiah|Psalm 95|st2=|add1=:1-9|add2={{sp}}'''1:1-5'''|add3=:3-6.}}

produces

Original text and translations may be found at Psalm 126:1-9, Lamentations of Jeremiah 1:1-5, and Psalm 95:3-6.
