Template:Sidebar/doc

For the previous Template:Sidebar,
use <div class="infobox" style="width:20em;">......</div>.
That was its code.

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.

Pro forma

Parameters with infrequent use omitted.

{{Sidebar
|name     = 
|sectdivider = 
|exttitle = 
|topimage = 
|pretitle = 
|title    = 
|image    = 
|headingstyle = 
|contentstyle = 

|heading1 = 
|content1 = 

|heading2 = 
|content2 = 

|heading3 = 
|content3 = 

<!--(etc.)-->

|heading30 = 
|content30 = 
}}

Parameters

The only required parameter is content1, although see the entry for name in the table immediately below (first entry).

Principal

Parameter	Explanation
name	The sidebar's name, i.e. the name following "Template:" in the page's name. Required for the {{Tnavbar}} links at the bottom of the sidebar to function correctly, unless these are omitted (see tnavbar at the bottom of this table).
sectdivider	CSS styling producing a visible divisions between the sidebar's headers, sections and footer. To disable, set sectdivider to "none;" or "off;", e.g. |sectdivider = none; (the trailing semicolon is required). Currently defaults to padding-bottom:0.4em; border-bottom:1px solid #aaa;, i.e. a single grey line separated from content above by a little padding.
exttitle	Use to place a title for the sidebar immediately above the sidebar (i.e. externally).
topimage	Use to place an image at the top of the sidebar, i.e. above any title included. Full wikisyntax expected (i.e. [[Image:...]]). To add a caption below the image, use topimagecaption.
pretitle	Use to place a line such as "Part of the X series on" before the title.
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).
content1	First section's content (required).
heading2	Second section's heading (if needed).
content2	Second section's content (if needed).
heading3	Third section's heading (if needed).
content3	Third section's content (if needed).
...... etc ......
heading30	Currently, the last possible section heading and/or content (if needed).
content30
