Module:Build bracket/doc

This template is intended to be used to create and edit intricate sports brackets that cannot be made by Module:RoundN or Module:Team bracket. For example, additional headers (for double-elimination brackets; 3rd-, 5th-, 7th-place matches; etc), singular omitted matches (i.e., having a horizonal line instead of a match), and N-way brackets (N teams per match). The syntax is slightly more complicated than the aforementioned brackets, but simpler than using the standard wikitable code.

The template breaks down the brackets into rows and columns.

{{#invoke:Build bracket|main
| rounds =

| col1-headers = 
| col1-matches = 
| col1-lines   = 

| col2-headers = 
| col2-matches = 
| col2-lines   = 

...

| col1-col2-paths = 
| col2-col3-paths = 

...
}}

Note: Borders are not actually present. They are only here to help visualization.

Path codes are entered in the form a-b, where a is associated match in the first column, and b is associated match in the second column. Path codes can be grouped; for example, (a,b)-c is equivalent to a-c, b-c.

Note: These are only examples. Module:Team bracket and Module:RoundN handle some of these brackets much better than this template does.
