Template:End tab

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

{{Start tab}} can be used to create a tabbed interface for usage on portals and projects, help pages and user pages. It should not be used in articles themselves.

Usage

{{Start tab
| freeform-n          =
| link-n              =
| link2-n             =
| link3-n             =
| link4-n             =
| link5-n             =

}}

Parameters

freeform-n: Set freeform-n = yes to allow for arbitrary code in that tab's tab-n entry rather than just being plain text and a link. See below. When using the freeform attribute, the link attribute remains empty; for example:

| freeform-1          = yes
| tab-1               = [http://www.nytimes.com/ ''The New York Times'']
| link-1              =

link-n: The tab link location, where "n" is number of the tab up to 20.
link2-n: The tab 2nd link location, where "n" is number of the tab up to 20. (only applies when using freeform-n)
link3-n: The tab 3rd link location, where "n" is number of the tab up to 20. (only applies when using freeform-n)
link4-n: The tab 4th link location, where "n" is number of the tab up to 20. (only applies when using freeform-n)
link5-n: The tab 5th link location, where "n" is number of the tab up to 20. (only applies when using freeform-n)
tab-n: The name of the tab, where "n" is number of the tab up to 20.

The maximum number of available tabs is 20.
To use the next page feature, end the page with the {{End tab}} template.

Each tab needs a link attribute with the title of the page it refers to, and a tab attribute with a label for the tab. If the current page title matches a link then that tab will be styled differently. The freeform attribute can be used with any tab (for instance |freeform-2=yes to allow for a freeform label with multiple internal and external links if desired; otherwise, the text in tab is used as a wikilink to the page specified by link.

Additional options:

frame: Set to yes to add a page frame underneath the tabs. This can be closed by adding </div></div> to the end of the page, or wherever else you want the frame to close.
frame color: Background color for frame. Default is on tab color.
border: Border style.
off tab color: Color of the currently unselected tabs.
on tab color: Color of the currently selected tab.
rounding: Add rounding effect to edges of tab boxes. (0.5em seems to work well)
tab alignment: Override alignment of tab's title (left/center/right).
image-(N°): Name of optional image (set to 20px) to place next to tab title.
tab font-size: Override the font size of the text in the tab.
nowrap: Prevent long names from wrapping on each tab.
tab spacing percent: Override the width between the tabs.
preums: Internally used only on Template:Page tabs
