Editing tip
An easy way of creating larger cladograms is to use the Newick format and proceed to edit it using a suitable text editor to produce the markup.


 * 1) Start with Newick format ((a,b),(c,d))
 * 2) Replace "(" with ""
 * 3) Edit to replace commas with pipes and numbers
 * 4) Edit clade labels if needed

Using a box
You can nest the templates and use links around the text. You may use non-breaking spaces (&amp;nbsp;) to obtain spaces or to have labels that have spaces.

The entire cladogram can be placed in a box so that text flows nicely around it. Use within Template:Cladogram.
