{{User:Robbiemuffin/Templates/Content Block}} — Content Block
Purpose[edit | edit source]
To separate substance from style in Book Contents. The intended use is (for example) for the book to handle loosely organized (or even unorganized) pages with category tags, where the category is transcluded through a list formatter into the contents, TOC, and index.

Usage[edit | edit source]
{{User:Robbiemuffin/Templates/Contents Block | title=my_title | contents=my_cat' | maxwidth=max_width' | float=left_or_right' | bgc=rgb_color' | withback=t_or_f'}}
| title | Title text for the Contents block. Defaults to "Contents" |
| contents | Required value. The category page where you are writing out your contents, as displayed in the title text on that page. |
| maxwidth | If set, passes a max-width CSS tag with the value set here to the div for the actual content. |
| float | Float left or float right for content block. Defaults to right. |
| bgc | Background color for content block. Defaults to #eef. |
| withback | Lighter background for the actual content. Defaults to true. (Set to "f" to override.) |
| clear | Postpend contents with a clear:both div. |
Example[edit | edit source]
Prep
First, you need to make a page that lists your contents. In this example we use: User:Robbiemuffin/Templates/Contents Block/doc/SampleContents, but normally you would have some form of transclusion and category automatically generate the list.
Code
{{User:Robbiemuffin/Templates/Contents Block
|title='''''What's Inside'''''
|contents=User:Robbiemuffin/Templates/Contents Block/doc/SampleContents
|clear=yes please
}}
note that the content tag is actually space- and case-sensitive!
