Template:Navbox/doc

Usage
Please remove the parameters that are left blank. (Note: You might be looking for the NavBox Template instead.)



Parameter list
The navbox uses lowercase parameter names, as shown in the box (above). The required name and title will create a one-line box if other parameters are omitted.

Notice "group1" (etc.) is optional, as are sections named "above/below".

The basic and most common parameters are as follows (see below for the full list):


 * – the name of the template.
 * – text in the title bar, such as: Widget stuff.
 * – a CSS class for the list cells, usually  for horizontal lists. Alternatively, use bodyclass for the whole box.
 * – controls when a navbox is expanded or collapsed.
 * – a CSS style for the title-bar, such as:
 * – a CSS style for the group-cells, such as:
 * – text to appear above the group/list section (could be a list of overall wikilinks).
 * – an optional right-side image, coded as the whole image. Typically it is purely decorative, so it should be coded as.
 * – an optional left-side image (code the same as the "image" parameter).
 * – the left-side text before list-n (if group-n omitted, list-n starts at left of box).
 * – text listing wikilinks using a wikilist format.
 * – optional text to appear below the group/list section.

Parameter descriptions
The following is a complete list of parameters for using Navbox. In most cases, the only required parameters are,  , and.

Setup parameters

 * name
 * The name of the template, which is needed for the "V • T • E" ("View • Talk • Edit") links to work properly on all pages where the template is used. You can enter  for this value as a shortcut.  The name parameter is only mandatory if a   is specified, and the   parameter is not set, and the   parameter is not used to disable the navbar.
 * state [ ]
 * Defaults to . A navbox with   will start out collapsed if there are two or more tables on the same page that use other collapsible tables. Otherwise, the navbox will be expanded.
 * If set to, the navbox will always start out in a collapsed state.
 * If set to, the navbox will always start out in an expanded state.
 * If set to, the navbox will always be expanded with no [hide] link on the right, and the title will remain centered (by using padding to offset the V • T • E links).
 * If set to, the navbox will always be expanded with no [hide] link on the right, but no padding will be used to keep the title centered.  This is for advanced use only; the "plain" option should suffice for most applications where the [show]/[hide] button needs to be hidden.
 * To show the box when standalone (non-included) but then auto-hide contents when in an article, put "expanded" inside ...  tags. This setting will force the box visible when standalone (even when followed by other boxes), displaying "[hide]", but then it will auto-collapse the box when stacked inside an article:
 * expanded
 * Often times, editors will want a default initial state for a navbox, which may be overridden in an article. Here is the trick to do this:
 * In your intermediate template, create a parameter also named "state" as a pass-through like this:
 * The   will make the template expanded when viewing the template page by itself.
 * navbar
 * If set to, the V • T • E links on the left side of the titlebar will not be displayed, and padding will be automatically used to keep the title centered.  Use   to remove the V • T • E links, but not apply padding (this is for advanced use only; the "plain" option should suffice for most applications where a navbar is not desired). It is highly recommended that one not hide the navbar, in order to make it easier for users to edit the template, and to keep a standard style across pages.
