Template:Navbar/doc

Usage

General

When one of the following examples is placed inside a given template, it adds navbar navigational functionality:

{{navbar|{{subst:PAGENAME}}|mini=1}}

{{navbar|{{subst:PAGENAME}}|plain=1}}

{{navbar|{{subst:PAGENAME}}|fontstyle=color:green}}

The {{subst:PAGENAME}} will be substituted with the template's name when parsed by the servers. For example, {{navbar|navbar/doc}} gives:

Font-size

Font-size is 88% when used in a navbar, and 100% when nested in a navbox. In the navbar, the weight is "normal"; when nested in navbox, it takes on the outer setting. The middot is bold.

Examples

Required parameters

• {{navbar|Template Name}} – the template name is required.

Optional parameters

Options	Parameters	Produces...
Basic	{{navbar|Template Name}}
Different text	{{navbar|Template Name|text=This template:}}
Without "This box:" text	{{navbar|Template Name|plain=1}}
Short version	{{navbar|Template Name|mini=1}}
With brackets	{{navbar|Template Name|brackets=1}}
With a color option (span)	{{navbar|Template Name|fontstyle=color:green}}
To float to the side (div)	{{navbar|Template Name|style=float:right}}

Deprecated parameters

The miniv=1, viewplain=1, nodiv=1 and fontcolor= parameters have been deprecated. To implement the view-only version, use the {{v}} or {{view}} templates instead.

Notes

Navbar is contained within a <div>...</div> in order to accommodate a horizontal unnumbered list. This means it cannot be placed inside a <span>...</span> or other inline element, because the HTML Tidy extension will 'fix' situations where it finds block elements inside inline elements.

{{Navbar-navframe}}

For use in conjunction with Navframe divs, positions opposite of the [hide]/[show] feature.
