Usage

Resolves a European Legislation Identifier (ELI) to the permalink in the EUR-Lex database by prepending http://data.europa.eu/eli/

This template uses {{Catalog lookup link}} as its base. It supports a list of up to 9 ELI codes. It may be used in the id= parameter of Citation Style 1/{{Citation}}. The parameter leadout= can be used for to add a conjunction to the final number in the list. For example:

{{ELI|dir/2000/60/oj|reg/2013/216/oj|dec/2009/496|leadout=and}} produces:

ELI dir/2000/60/oj, reg/2013/216/oj and dec/2009/496

TO DO:

Get proper ELI format: is /eli/ prefix required? (High priority)
International legal citation template similar to {{Cite court}} and {{Citation}} (Medium priority).
Add support for language and format choice (Low priority).
