![]() | This template uses Lua: |
![]() | This infobox should italicize the article title automatically. If this is not required, add |italic title=no to the list of parameters. If this is required but the title is not being italicized, try |italic title=force . |
All fields are optional and should only be used when necessary and where their use would not lead to misleading over-simplification. The addition of the infobox to an article will automatically italicise the article title per {{italic title}}.
Generally: If a parameter has multiple values, such as more than one librettist (as in example 2 below), more than one basis, use {{flatlist}} or {{plainlist}}.
