The EasyTimeline feature produces an embedded [[Help:Images and other uploaded files|image]] from wikitext. The image can be a one-dimensional diagram (horizontally or vertically), or a two-dimensional one. The name "EasyTimeline" refers to the possibility to apply the feature with a time scale horizontally or vertically, possibly with another parameter in the other direction, but there are also various other possiblities.
See also [[EasyTimeline]], [[EasyTimeline/Index]].▼
At the moment two presets are available:▼
*Preset = TimeVertical_OneBar_UnitYear▼
*Preset = TimeHorizontal_AutoPlaceBars_UnitYear▼
Not clear if whether there is documentation about them.▼
