Summary

Dynamically generates a section header. Section headers that use different levels based on how they're shown or transcluded.

Parameters

Section Header

Parameter	Scope	Description
1 or title	optional	The title of the section header. A blank or missing value results in no header.
2 or sectionlevel	optional	A value from 1 to 5, which generates <h1> to <h5> section headers, respectively; any other value results in no header. Typically inherited from the transcluding page.

Examples

{{Section Header|}}

No title, no section header.

{{Section Header|No Level}}

No level, no section header.

Level 3

{{#define:sectionlevel|3}}{{Section Header|Level 3}}

Level 3, <h3>.

Level 4

{{#local:sectionlevel|4}}{{Section Header|Level 4}}

Level 4, <h4>.

Notes

This is too clever

{{Section Header|This is too clever|3}}

Explicitly providing a fixed sectionlevel parameter is usually a symptom of over-engineering.

This is much better

If the sectionlevel is unchanging, just use regular section headers like so.
