Succession templates

I liked the way the article series templates looked and thought it might be a good idea to use them for political succession boxes as well (using the Byzantine emperor template as an example):

First possibility - headings in a blue background (is it possible to combine them into a single blue bar?); something else would have to be put in the middle box in the second row:

Preceded by:	Byzantine Emperor	Succeeded by:
{{{Prev}}}	Byzantine Emperor {{{CoEmperor}}}	{{{Next}}}

Second possibility - only one heading in blue; same problem with the middle box:

Byzantine Emperor
Preceded by: {{{Prev}}}	Byzantine Emperor {{{CoEmperor}}}	Succeeded by: {{{Next}}}

Third possibility - no middle box at all, but that wouldn't work when there are co-rulers:

Byzantine Emperor
Preceded by: {{{Prev}}}	Succeeded by: {{{Next}}}

A more complicated example, mixing the article series box and the regular table, from Charles I of Sicily - I want the preceded by and succeeded by part to be like the others, and not in table boxes, but I can't figure it out yet:

In HTML+CSS I'd use something like

td.someclass { border-style:hidden; } 
table.anotherclass { border-style:solid; /* or whatever */ }

I've added a bit of CSS style to your wiki markup. Hope it helps in your tweaking. Mr. Jones 20:11, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Preceded by:	Charles I of Sicily	Succeeded by:
Manfred	King of Sicily	Peter I
—	King of Naples	Charles II
William II	Prince of Achaea
—	Count of Anjou

The Jupiter template that inspired this (and from which I stole bits):

Jupiter
Io | Europa | Ganymede | Callisto
(For other moons, see: Jupiter's natural satellites)

A succession box as they look right now:

Preceded by: {{{Prev}}}

Byzantine Emperor {{{CoEmperor}}}

Succeeded by: {{{Next}}}

The regular table for Charles I:

Preceded by: Manfred	King of Sicily	Succeeded by: Peter I
—	King of Naples	Charles II
William II	Prince of Achaea
—	Count of Anjou
