This subtemplate of Image generation describes a CoA SVG – Coat of Arms as a  scaleable vector graphic.
Normally a single parameter is or some parameters are passed from template:COAInformation, parameter |image=../../..
but the template can as well function in stand-alone mode, preferably with an Information box |other fields={{Igen/coa|..|..|..}}

For the many different possibilities of description are many different options of parametrizing.

With one parameter:

0• User code – when the template has defined such a code — this is the standard

0• Igen parm – the complete parameter string, {{Igen|...}} in curly brackets

0• Tool name – when another tool and without W3C-errors

0• W3C error – when an Inkscape file has W3C-errors

With more parameters:

0• 2 params – tool and error count

0• 2...5 pars – more specifications

Usage

|other fields={{Igen/coa|Xx}} or |other fields={{Igen/coa|I|+|...}} instead of |other fields={{Igen|I|+|...}}
