| − | # A plain three column layout is less than satisfactory; the occasional wide taxon names force the whole last column to be very wide.

| − | #* To some extent, this is already worked around by providing a four-column layout with alternating colspan (33% of table width is assigned to statement, if no taxon is present, or to taxon, if that is present. However, this still means that the statement may be presented shorter than necessary.

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Key Start (see that page for the template itself).
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.
The key is a table with a dummy column to enable partial overlap between left and right text in different rows. Overlap is possible only between a long lead statement with a short number pointer, long lead statements with a long taxon name can not overlap. Each lead is a separate row, if images are present they are added in an additional row where required.
Javascript programmability: Each row contains an id attribute with "L" + lead number + "row", the lead cell itself an id attribute with "L" + lead number. The table is styled mostly using css classes, with the text span background an exception (to allow parameterization of the background).
