Usage

Source: {{fl.|1234}} ; {{fl.|1234–1275}} ; {{fl.|{{c.|1275}}}} ; {{fl.|1234|lk=off}}

Result: fl. 1234 ; fl. 1234–1275 ; fl. c. 1275 ; fl. 1234

This template generates an abbreviation for floruit ("fl."); by default, it has a mouse-over tooltip explaining its meaning.

Parameters

This template supports an optional (first, unnamed) parameter representing a year (or range of years). For example, {{fl.|1956}} renders to give fl. 1956. This differs from {{fl.}} 1956 in that {{fl.|1956}} puts a non-breaking space in between the "fl." and the number, which prevents web browsers from inserting a line break there.

If the parameter "sortable=yes" is specified, the template generates invisible text that will cause the output to work in sortable tables, at the cost of adding those words (read-out, audibly) by many screen readers. The benefit is effective, clickable arrows as in "Col 2" below:

Title	Col 1	Col 2
Foo	1066	1066
Bar	fl. 1510	1510fl. 1510
Baz	1956	1956
Jaz	fl. 410	410fl. 410

If the |lk= (as in "link") parameter is set to |lk=off, then the abbreviation will be rendered as fl. (without a wikilink). Otherwise, the link is displayed. (This can be used to avoid overlinking when this template is used repeatedly in the body of an article.)
