This template creates a single succession box column to be used with succession boxes.
The format is {{s-vac|parameter=}}, where parameter= is replaced by one or more of the parameter names shown in the following table.
This template allows for exactly ONE "before" field, ONE "after" field, ONE "subline", and ONE "header".
IMPORTANT: All uses must be either preceded (if initial) or followed (if other rows follow) with the |- characters, lest the table not display properly.
This template allows for multiple row-spans using the parameter |rows=| between the template name and the first parameter.
