Establishes the operating field for a timeline. You must use this before using {{TLevent}}.

{{Timeline
|height= this is for the leading line. (in em)
|title=Put title here.}}

When using {{TLevent}} make sure to add |} at the bottom to ensure the table gets closed off. (Otherwise it will wreck the formatting.))
If you find the "leading line" isn't long enough, just increase the "height" value (in em).
To push wiki text down and prevent the timeline from appearing "on top" of text below it, use <br/>ses after the final {{TLevent}} and the subsequent table close (|}).
