Template:Video game release hlist/doc

Description
The purpose of this template is to build an horizontal list with pairs of labels and items. The labels are typically regions, countries, or languages. The items are typically dates, but can be used for companies or people as well.

The template is most commonly used for tables, where the multiline format of Video game release may not be appropriate.


 * 1) You can specify any region, country or other label.
 * 2) Labels and items appear in the order in which you input them.
 * 3) Labels can be repeated with different items.

Usage
Parameters are input as label/date pairs, and are displayed in the order they are given. Video game-specific aliases for regions such as NA, EU, AU or AUS, PAL, SEA, AS, SA, OC, WW and ? are supported, as well as all ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 codes and a smaller number of selected ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes.

Note that WP:VG/DATE asserts several guidelines/rules concerning where and when (and which) abbreviations may be used in video game infoboxes.

 * : Video game release hlist is hardcoded to the horizontal format. Use Video game release for other formats.
