Template talk:2dihdf

[edit] Usage

To use this template, type the following:

{{2dihdf|type=SH|number=30}}

This would appear as:

Highway designation file for SH 30 at the Texas Department of Transportation website.

Business routes in Texas — types BI, BU, BS — have a letter suffix to distinguish between the routes in different locations. Add this letter to the number parameter.

For a two-digit business route, type this:

{{2dihdf|type=BS|number=24B}}

This would result in:

Highway designation file for BS 24B at the Texas Department of Transportation website.

Since this would typically be used in an External links section, preface it with an asterisk ("*") and you're ready to go.
