Editing Template:Infobox officeholder/doc (section)

== Embedding within a different infobox ==
Many officeholders are known for more than just their appointments (e.g., [[Clint Eastwood]]), and hence it may be desirable to merge this infobox with another one, like {{tl|Infobox person}}.  By adding {{para|embed|yes}} to the first line of the infobox code, one can embed this infobox into another, creating the illusion of one continuous infobox. Though the process is a little complicated, it is possible to insert this infobox into most if not all other infoboxes.  For {{tl|Infobox person}}, this infobox is passed as a "module" using the {{para|module}} syntax.
