Template:Sidebar/doc
From OpenSimulator
This template is intended as a metatemplate for sidebar templates (vertically-aligned navigation (navbox) templates usually positioned on the righthand sides of pages) in the same spirit as {{Infobox}} for infobox templates and {{Navbox}} for navbox templates.
Use {{Unbulleted list}} rather than
{{Sidebar with collapsible lists}} adds collapsibility to a Sidebar's sections, i.e. the means to show or hide sections by clicking links beside their headings.

Principal

|---|---|---|---|
| name | The sidebar's name, i.e. the name following "Template:" in the page's name. Required for the {{navbar}} links at the bottom of the sidebar to function correctly, unless these are omitted (see navbar at the bottom of this table). It is recommended to use {{subst:PAGENAME}} for this field. | ||

| title | Use to place a title for the sidebar at the top of the sidebar (immediately below the topimage, if used). | ||
| image | Use to place an image between the title (if used) and first section. As with topimage, full wikisyntax expected (i.e. [[Image:...]]).To add a caption below the image, use imagecaption. | ||
| headingstyle | Use to alter the default CSS styling set for section headings. To alter the CSS styling for a specific section's heading, use headingNstyle, where N is the number of the section. | ||
| contentstyle | Use to alter the default CSS styling set for section content. To alter the CSS styling for a particular section's content, use contentNstyle, where N is the number of the section. | ||
| heading1 | First section's heading (if needed).</tr> | content1 | First section's content (required).</tr> |
| heading2 | Second section's heading (if needed).</tr> | content2 | Second section's content (if needed).</tr> |

Other parameters
| Parameter | Explanation |
|---|---|
| above | Corresponds to above parameter offered by {{Navbox}}. |
|
class (or bodyclass) |
Microformat classes for the corresponding parameters. |
| below | Use to e.g. add one or more portal links to the bottom of the template (by default in bold). |
|
style (or bodystyle) |
Use to alter default CSS styling for the corresponding parameters. |
| cellspacing | Use to amend the default cellspacing set for the infobox-class table with which the sidebar is built. |
| cellpadding | Ditto the default cellpadding. |
| navbaroptions | Use to specify more options for the navbar at the bottom of the sidebar (see {{navbar}} for options available). |
Handling long links
{{normalwraplink}} may be used to handle links that should wrap within the sidebar or otherwise need to be made to wrap in order to prevent the sidebar becoming too wide. Use {{normalwraplink|longlinkname}}, where longlinkname is the long link without its square brackets.
Use the wraplinks parameter to turn link wrapping off for the whole template.
