Template:Hidden

This template creates a dynamic navigation box using style sheet declarations in MediaWiki:Common.css and Javascript code in MediaWiki:Common.js. It displays the first parameter (the heading) with a [show] link on the right. If [show] is clicked by the user, the second parameter (the body) is displayed below the heading and the [show] link becomes [hide]. Clicking on [hide] then hides the body again and the [hide] link becomes [show] again.

Usage

Only two parameters are required for this template:

header 
text for header (or title); alternative to using unnamed parameter {{{1}}}
content 
text for content (or body); alternative to using unnamed parameter {{{2}}}

Optional parameters

headercss 
add CSS to the header.
contentcss 
add CSS to the content box.
fw1 
the font-weight for the heading (default "bold")
fw2 
the font-weight for the body (default "normal")
bg1 
the background-color for the heading (default "transparent")
bg2 
the background-color for the body (default "transparent")
ta1 
the text-align for the heading (default "center")
ta2 
the text-align for the body (default "left")


Note: This template will not respect the user preference "justify paragraphs".

Issues

Show/hide button overlap

With ta1=right or a long header, the header may overlap the show/hide button:

Example with long header
Example with ta1=right
Example with ta1=right & first line blank

Sections

Sections included inside a hidden block result in broken anchors in the table of contents at the top of the page.
