{{See also cat|Geological period templates}}

=== Usage ===
Simply use <pre>{{period span|'''''Period name'''''}}</pre>

;Example:
<pre>{{period span|Permian}}</pre>
;Gives:
{{period span|Permian}}

===In development ===
The {{para|round}} parameter will round off the number to that many decimal places.  It doesn't currently round the error margins; to omit these, use {{tl|period span/brief}}.

===Errors===
If this template generates an expression error, it is because the period is missing from {{tl|next period}} or {{tl|period start}}.  Please go ahead and add it in the appropriate place (once you've checked your spelling!).

You must also add the period to {{tl|period start error}}, which contains the errors shown after the ± in the output of this template.
