modelmast is similar to the
masthead function except that it is focused on
the model rather than the set. Originally developed for use on the main
WACS model page, it has now become a freestanding API call that can be
used from a number of applications. It includes a number of parameters
that take pre-formatted HTML strings to increase the flexibility of how
it can be used. All will be housed within a td
element of an HTML table rendered in the configured masthead colours.
