== 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|play music with VLC}}) will show <samp>This page describes ''how to play music with VLC''</samp>.
#* {{<nowiki />howto}} will suppress the message altogether—however, the template still auto-categorises and auto-sorts.
