We use mediawiki templates to hide basic layout characteristics

Maybe we want to draw more than one genealogy tree. And of course all of them should follow the same layout pattern. Ideally it should be possible to change that layout pattern at a central point without having to edit all the individual trees.

• We put global graph properties (orientation etc.) into a template.
• We put all the type definitions in the same template.
• We define another template which cares for 'comment nodes'. It creates an info node and attaches it to a given node.
• Note that the sequence of statements in a WGL graph description does not matter.

Now the WGL source can be reduced to the core of its contents.
