Template:Library of Congress Classification code

Usage

This template is used for referring to books by their Library of Congress Classification codes. It produces a link to the Library of Congress website.

For example:

{{LCC|Z253.U69}} results in "LCC Z253.U69

"

{{LCC|75-80057}} results in "LCC 75-80057

"

{{LCC|Z253.U69 1993}} results in "LCC Z253.U69 1993

"

{{LCC|G635.C66 H86 1997}} results in LCC G635.C66 H86 1997

Previously, it was required to replace spaces in the number with pipes:

{{LCC|G635.C66|H86|1997}} results in LCC G635.C66 H86 1997

This is no longer necessary, though the newer template remains backwards compatible with the piped format.

This template employs intricate features of template syntax.
