This is a template for rendering simple diagrams consisting of boxes and connecting lines based loosely on an ASCII art-like syntax. The trees are displayed as HTML tables using CSS attributes, and may contain arbitrary wiki markup within the boxes. This implementation was based on the {{familytree}} template.

Migration from familytree

The {{chart}} template is largely compatible with the earlier {{familytree}} template. However, to use the additional functionality offered with this template, diagrams must be updated to use {{chart}} instead. Many {{familytree}} diagrams can be altered to use {{chart}} and its sub-templates simply by replacing the wikitext familytree with chart. A few of the "mixed" tiles had to be renamed, and {{familytree}} diagrams using these tiles will have to make a few changes. Additionally, two new "mixed" tiles have been added, joining solid lines to dashed lines. The following table summarises the differences:

Tile {{familytree}} {{chart}}
{ c
} d
# t
[ e
] f
  i
  j

Lastly, if any uses of the {{familytree}} template end with |}}, that vertical bar should be removed, leaving the last cell in that row containing either some text or a space.
