Parameters
This template produces one row in a family tree table. The template accepts up to 99 unnamed parameters describing the contents of the table. Each parameter specifies a tile or a box.


 * Tiles are line drawing symbols consisting of horizontal and vertical lines and various corners and crossings thereof. Tiles are specified using single-character symbols that more or less approximate the shape of the tile in appearance.  A special case of a tile is the empty tile, specified by a single space character.  A table of supported tiles is given below.


 * Boxes can contain arbitrary wiki markup. The contents of boxes are specified using additional named parameters appended to the template call.  Each box is three tiles wide and normally has a 2 pixels wide black border.  Boxes can have any name that is a valid template parameter name, although single character names should be avoided to prevent conflicts with tile symbols.
