Template:Tree list
This family of templates can be used to create a properly structured and accessible tree with each element on its own line. This can be used to display family trees, succession to thrones, etc. They comprise:
- {{Tree list}}
- {{Tree list/final branch}}
- {{Tree list/branching}}
- {{Tree list/final branching}}
- {{Tree list/end}}
Indentation levels are denoted by asterisks.
Syntax
Start and finish of the tree
The outermost level of the tree is denoted by start and finish markers, using the templates {{Tree list}} and {{Tree list/end}} respectively. The tree is essentially a series of nested lists built with the asterisks ("*") between these two markers.
{{Tree list}}
* Content of the tree spanning multiple lines. Each line is preceded by one or more asterisks.
{{Tree list/end}}
The branches of the tree
Each branch of the tree is built using nested lists:
{{Tree list}}
* A first level branch
** A second level branch
*** A third level branch
{{Tree list/end}}
produces
- A first level branch
- A second level branch
- A third level branch
- A second level branch
Final branches
It will be noticed that the example above has a rouge link below the last entry. In order to display the final branches properly, it is necessary to use the template {{Tree list/final branch}} thus:
{{Tree list}}
* A first level branch
** A second level branch
*** A third level branch
*** Another third level branch
*** {{Tree list/final branch}} The final third level branch
** Another second level branch
** {{Tree list/final branch}} The final second level branch
{{Tree list/end}}
which produces
- A first level branch
- A second level branch
- A third level branch
- Another third level branch
- The final third level branch
- Another second level branch
- The final second level branch
- A second level branch
Unlabelled branches
An unlabelled branch may be formed by using the {{Tree list/branching}} template or, if it is the final branch, the {{Tree list/final branching}} template.
{{Tree list}}
* A first level branch
** {{Tree list/branching}}
*** A third level branch
*** Another third level branch
*** {{Tree list/final branch}} The final third level branch
** A second level branch
** {{Tree list/final branching}} <!--- This branch ends the second level --->
*** A third level branch
*** {{Tree list/final branch}} The final third level branch
{{Tree list/end}}
produces the following:
- A first level branch
-
- A third level branch
- Another third level branch
- The final third level branch
- A second level branch
-
- A third level branch
- The final third level branch
