Template:Ahnentafel/doc: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 08:20, 21 April 2010

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Ahnentafel (see that page for the template itself).
It contains usage information, categories and other content that is not part of the original template page.

This template takes genealogical data in the form of an ahnentafel and presents it as a graphical ancestry tree (realized as a collapsible HTML table). The template can be called using {{ahnentafel}} or {{pedigree chart}}.

The entries in the ahnentafel are given as numbered parameters to the template, and may contain arbitrary wikimarkup. In addition, the template accepts the following named parameters:

title: Title of the table. (default: Pedigree Chart).
state: Set the state of the collapsible table collapsed or uncollapsed. (default: collapsed}.
style: CSS style attributes to be applied to the entire table.
boxstyle: CSS style attributes to be applied to the boxes containing the entries.
border: Thickness of the borders around the boxes in pixels (default: 2).
boxstyle_1, boxstyle_2, ...: CSS style attributes to be applied to the boxes in a given column.
border_1, border_2, ...: Thickness of the borders around the boxes in a given column.

The column-specific style attributes are included after (and thus override) the generic ones, which are included after the default styles and the border thickness specified by the border parameter(s).
