Template:Post-nominals/doc

Usage
The default use provides post-nominals linked to the relevant article for the award. By default, the Canadian set of awards are used:



Suppress links with the postnoms parameter
The linking can be suppressed by using the post-noms parameter:



Font size
The optional size parameter allows for the size of the text, as a percentage, to be changed from the template's default of 85%:



Separator
To use a comma separator between post-nominals, use , Leave out the parameter completely or supply a blank value sep to have just non-breaking spaces between the post-nominals. Only a comma is supported as punctuation in this case and anything else supplied as a value will default to using a comma in the rendered text.



Automatic linking to a country article


Countries are specified using ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 codes. The only countries currently supported are Australia (AUS), Canada (CAN), New Zealand (NZL), and the United Kingdom (GBR). If a country is not specified, the Canadian list will be used, as it duplicates most of the British list.





Note that this is case-sensitive; "country=GBR" will invoke the British list, but "Country=GBR" will default to the Canadian list.
