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

If this template is nested in another, the show/hide links in the hidden content keep their state; there is no parameter for collapse all or reveal all.

Usage

Full syntax

{{Hidden
| expanded=true  <!--(omit for initial hidden state)-->
| style = 
| headerstyle = 
| header = 
| contentstyle = 
| content =

|fw1= |fw2= |bg1= |bg2= |ta1= |ta2=
}}

Parameters

Only two parameters are required for this template:

header

text for header (title); alternative to using unnamed parameter {{{1}}}

content

text for body (content); alternative to using unnamed parameter {{{2}}}

Optional

style

CSS styling for template overall.

headerstyle

CSS styling for title (header).

contentstyle

CSS styling for the hidden content.

expanded

any nonblank value (e.g. |expanded=on) will cause the template to be initially expanded by default.

multiline

any nonblank value (e.g. |multline=y) will reduce the line-height of the title and add some padding to avoid overlap with the show/hide button.

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