Example

The code below produces the box opposite:

{{User:Dan Leonard/Draft template:Infobox mathematical constant
| name = Pi
| symbol = {{pi}}
| approximation = 3.1415926535...
| fields_of_application = {{flatlist |
* [[Geometry]]
* [[calculus]]
}}
}}

{{User:Dan Leonard/Draft template:Infobox mathematical constant
| name = Euler's number
| symbol = {{mvar|e}}
| approximation = 2.71828...
| fields_of_application = {{flatlist |
* [[Calculus]]
