Template:Texas Mapbook/doc

This template simplifies the citation of the Texas Department of Transportation County Mapbook in articles relevant to Texas State Highways. Use of this template will allow simple amendment of all citations to the Mapbook in the event a URL or edition change occurs.

Usage
To complete the template, fill in the following parameters:
 * year: the edition of the Mapbook; the current edition is 2018. Not specifying this parameter causes the template to default to the 2012 edition for legacy usage purposes, as it is the oldest edition still cited in articles . The 2012 edition is no longer available on the TxDOT site, and use of Mapbook pages from this date will automatically add the template (and add the article to Category:Articles with dead external links from December 2014), again, for legacy usage purposes. Note that the page number references for the 2012, 2014, and 2018 editions are all different from one another, and thus updating editions requires manual modification for each instance of the template.
 * page: the page number from the PDF version of the Mapbook, which can be found using this search tool.
 * accessdate: the date the map was accessed online.
 * link: set to no to unlink the publisher. This is useful when using multiple map citations so that the publisher isn't linked in every citation in the reference list.
