== Usage ==
Calling the template currently:
# Auto-categorises pages to be members of [[:Category:How To]]
# Corrects the sortkey: telling the system that [[VLC HowTo/Adjust audio delay]] ought to be filed as "'''A'''djust audio delay" (A) and not "'''V'''LC HowTo/Adjust audio delay" (V).
# Displays a message '''(optional)'''
#* {{<nowiki />howto|do something}}) will show a message will be shown similar to the above. 
#* {{<nowiki />howto|silent=yes}} will suppress the message altogether—however, the template still auto-categorises and auto-sorts.

[[Category:How To|*]]<!-- modifies sortkey -->
