50px Template documentation

A template for tree-like structures, like directory or crafting trees.

Usage

Basic usage, creating only the root node. It is imparative that the root element is marked as such, by passing root as the second parameter.

{{tree|Label|root}}

• Label

Child elements can be passed in the children parameter.

{{tree|root|root|children=
  {{tree|child1, level1}}
  {{tree|child2, level1|children=
    {{tree|child1, level2}}
    {{tree|child2, level2|children={{tree|leaf}}}}}}
  {{tree|child3, level1|children={{tree|leaf}}}}
}}

• root
  • child1, level1
  • child2, level1
    • child1, level2
    • child2, level2
      • leaf
  • child3, level1
    • leaf

The template supports additional CSS classes which can be used to change the tree's shape. At the time of this writing, horizontal for horizontal children alignment, and single for nicer single leaf placement are supported.

{{tree|root|root|class=horizontal|children=
  {{tree|child1, level1}}
  {{tree|child2, level1|children=
    {{tree|child1, level2}}
    {{tree|child2, level2|class=horizontal single|children={{tree|leaf}}}}}}
  {{tree|child3, level1|class=single|children={{tree|leaf}}}}
}}

• root
  • child1, level1
  • child2, level1
    • child1, level2
    • child2, level2
      • leaf
  • child3, level1
    • leaf

Tooltips can be included with the description parameter, and small pieces of additional info using note. A special cursor will indicate if a tooltip is available on the respective element.

{{tree|root|root|description=An example tree.|class=horizontal|children=
  {{tree|child1|note=level1}}
  {{tree|child2|note=level1|children=
    {{tree|child1|note=level2}}
    {{tree|child2|note=level2|class=horizontal single|children={{tree|leaf}}}}}}
  {{tree|child3|note=level1|class=single|children={{tree|leaf}}}}
}}
