The code makes a distinction between terminal (taxon) and ongoing leads, which is made heuristically based on length of parameter 3 (up to 4 characters a lead-pointer is assumed).

The distinction influences the markup in the final column (kind of link) and the position of the colspan attribute. The colspan assigns column 4 either to the left or right column, allowing some overlap between long statement lines and long taxon names. To function, at least one row must use are real td cell with a defined width for column 4; currently this is achieved by adding an empty row as the last row in the table.

The first parameter may be a simple lead number "1", a number plus lead-code (1a, 1b, 1*, 1', 1", etc.) or a number with a backlink in round parenthesis: "2 (1)". We need to parse out the round brackets. First split the string at the "(" using explode, then remove ")" by replacing: {{#replace:{{{1}}}|)| }}.

Lead pointers: anchors must start with letter, therefore L prefixed, also id added to support multiple keys on a single wiki page. Note: no real trim function is present, but a custom template does the job.
