Vorlage:Switch

A key-like branching, a decision between a single level of alternatives, here especially to choose among alternative available identification tools. The term "Key Switch" was avoided, because identification tools may be simple image field guides, tabular overviews, or even free-form text.

Planned name in German: "Weiche".

Technical Note: The requirements for this template are that both jKey and mobileKey can follow it as if it were a key. For this purpose, both parameter names and the output hmtl layout follow the Key Start and Decision templates.
