Template:Collapse/doc
 | This is a documentation subpage for Template:Collapse. It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page. |
The Collapse template is used for placing collapse boxes around short discussions and bits of discussions (tables, long code samples, etc.). For entire discussion threads, use {{Collapse top}} and {{Collapse bottom}} instead.
Usage
Note: {{Collapse}} needs to be substed in order for the time stamp functionality to work properly.
{{Collapse|1=Discussion text to be put into box.|2=Optional custom heading}}
It is definitely safest to use the named |1= and |2= parameters, because otherwise any "=" character will break the template.
The bg parameter
The bg parameter is Optional. It changes the background color. use Web color values (e.g. #F0F2F5).
- Example
{{Collapse|1=Discussion text to be put into box.|bg=#F0F2F5}} creates:
Extended content
|
|---|
|
Discussion text to be put into box.
|
The padding parameter
The padding parameter adjusts the amount of cell padding (defaults to 8px):
{{Collapse|1=Discussion text to be put into box.|padding=20}} creates:
Extended content
|
|---|
|
Discussion text to be put into box.
|
Around header text
When used with a section of text, include the section header in the collapsed portion of text. For example, given:
Replace with:
The expand parameter
Simply add |expand=yes to have the box show up in expanded form with a "hide" link, instead of collapsed form with a "show" link. Note: |expand=no does not work, which is lame; to disable the feature, you have to remove the entire |expand parameter and value.
