{{fl.|{{c.|1275}}}};

This template generates an abbreviation forfloruit( "fl." ); by default, it has a mouse-overtooltipexplaining its meaning.
Parameters
First
This template supports an optional (first, unnamed) parameter representing a year (or range of years). For example,{{fl.|1956}}renders to givefl. 1956.This differs from{{fl.}} 1956in that{{fl.|1956}}puts anon-breaking spacein between the "fl." and the number, which prevents web browsers from inserting a line break there.
Sortable
- This section is inserted from
{{circa/doc}},so the examples are with that template.
If the parameter "sortable=yes"is specified, the template generates invisible text that will cause the column to sort correctly insortabletables.However, it is at the cost of having that invisible text read out audibly by manyscreen readers."Col 1" without the template does not sort correctly. "Col 2" with the template andsortable=yessorts correctly.
| Title | Col 1 | Col 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Foo | 1066 | 1066 |
| Bar | c. 1510 | c. 1510 |
| Baz | 1956 | 1956 |
| Jaz | c. 410 | c. 410 |
{|class="sortable wikitable"style=text-align:right;

Link
If the|lk=(as in "link" ) parameter is set to|lk=off,then the abbreviation will be rendered as plain fl.; otherwise, the mark of a tooltip is displayed,fl..
- The template previously was wikilinking instead of having a tooltip, so was used to avoidoverlinkingwhen used repeatedly in an article.
