I have been playing with this extension trying to use it with the template in an external page, and then passing the template name as an argument. My problem is that I would also like to have the header included in the template. Is there a way to include the head definition within the template as well so I can externalize both the head and rows from the call. I would like to do something like:
<dt2-showtable table="Table1" template="Template:Table1 Template" class="wikitable" args="Descriptor=Population" where="State in ('Wisconsin')">
I was hoping that the external template would work similar to the inline template where you can pass a <head> tag so I could do something similar to below as my template but it doesn't seem to be working:
<head>
|-
! rowspan="2" | State || colspan="3" |{{{Descriptor}}} Counts || colspan="3" | Change in # of {{{Descriptor}}}||colspan="3" | % Change in {{{Descriptor}}}
|-
! 2017 || 2018 || 2019 || 2017 to 2018 || 2018 to 2019 || 2017 to 2019 || 2017 to 2018 || 2018 to 2019 || 2017 to 2019
</head>
|-
! {{{Business_Category}}} | {{{CY2017}}} || {{{CY2018}}} || {{{CY2019}}}
| {{{2017_to_2018_delta}}} || {{{2018_to_2019_delta}}} || {{{2017_to_2019_delta}}}
| {{{Percent_Change(2017-2018)}}} || {{{Percent_Change(2018-2019)}}} || {{{Percent_Change(2017-2019)}}}
Am I missing something, or is it not possible to define a <head> within an external template?
Thanks
