Template:TabbedFolder

Tab Title

The TabbedFolder box provids a neat simple design for seperating out specific information on a page

How to use the TabbedFolder

The long and involved process works thusly. If you just want the damn Box, go directly to the Cheat Sheet.

Trigger the use of the TabbedFolder on your page if you plan to include it. At the top of your edit window, enter:

{{TabbedFolder

Below that, you'll want to fill out all the parameters that you can fill out or care to fill out. For this, you'll need the name of the parameter that corresponds to the field you'll want to fill; in most cases, the parameter names are the same as the name of the field, but they differ in some. A complete list can be found below. The format for filling in a parameter is as follows:

| parameter = value
eg.
| title = Vigilante

| content = Your content or information to include.

This will replace the {{{title}}} placeholder in the original TabbedFolder with 'Vigilante'. Each parameter should be put in a new line for ease of parsing and debugging in case something goes wrong.

Close the Template. This is done by appending the following at the end of your list:

|}}

And with this, you're set.
