Template:Tree list/final branching

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Template:Doc subpage This family of templates can be used to create a properly structured and accessible tree with each element on its own line. This can be used to display family trees, succession to thrones, etc. They comprise:

• {{Tree list}}
• {{Tree list/final branch}}
• {{Tree list/branching}}
• {{Tree list/final branching}}
• {{Tree list/end}}

Indentation levels are denoted by asterisks.

Syntax

Start and finish of the tree

The outermost level of the tree is denoted by start and finish markers, using the templates {{Tree list}} and {{Tree list/end}} respectively. The tree is essentially a series of nested lists built with the asterisks ("*") between these two markers.

{{Tree list}}
* Content of the tree spanning multiple lines. Each line is preceded by one or more asterisks.
{{Tree list/end}}

The branches of the tree

Each branch of the tree is built using nested lists:

{{Tree list}}
*  A first level branch
** A second level branch
*** A third level branch
{{Tree list/end}}

produces

• A first level branch
  • A second level branch
    • A third level branch

Final branches

It will be noticed that the example above has extraneous links below the last entry. In order to display the final branches properly, it is necessary to use the template {{Tree list/final branch}} thus:

{{Tree list}}
*  A first level branch
** A second level branch
*** A third level branch
*** Another third level branch
*** {{Tree list/final branch}} The final third level branch
** Another second level branch
** {{Tree list/final branch}} The final second level branch
{{Tree list/end}}

which produces

• A first level branch
  • A second level branch
    • A third level branch
    • Another third level branch
    • The final third level branch
  • Another second level branch
  • The final second level branch

Unlabelled branches

An unlabelled branch may be formed by using the {{Tree list/branching}} template or, if it is the final branch, the {{Tree list/final branching}} template.

{{Tree list}}
*  A first level branch
** {{Tree list/branching}}
*** A third level branch
*** Another third level branch
*** {{Tree list/final branch}} The final third level branch
** A second level branch
** {{Tree list/final branching}}                 <!--- This branch ends the second level --->
*** A third level branch
*** {{Tree list/final branch}} The final third level branch
{{Tree list/end}}

produces the following:

• A first level branch
  • • A third level branch
    • Another third level branch
    • The final third level branch
  • A second level branch
  • • A third level branch
    • The final third level branch
