Template:Ahnentafel/doc

Jump to navigation Jump to search

Template:Ahnentafel is a family tree template that will handle an ahnentafel of up to 511 places (9 generations), but will also display between 2 and 8 generations. It is recommended to extend the chart to no more than 6 levels (63 nodes) to fit the content into prevalent desktop screen resolutions.

The template presents genealogical data in the form of a graphical ahnentafel ancestry tree (realized as an HTML table). The entries in the ahnentafel are given as numbered parameters to the template, and may contain arbitrary wikimarkup.

Usage

{{ahnentafel
|collapsible=yes
|collapsed=yes
|ref=
|float=
|align=
|boxstyle_1=
|boxstyle_2=
|boxstyle_3=
|boxstyle_4=
|boxstyle_5=
|1=
|2=
...
}}

The template accepts the following named parameters:

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.
align
Alignment of the chart: left, right, center
headnotes
Adds optional text above the chart (most useful in collapsible mode)
footnotes
Adds optional text below the chart (most useful in collapsible mode)

Options for the collapsible outer container (if enabled)

collapsible
set to yes to make the table collapsible
collapsed
set to no to expand by default, and yes to collapse by default
title
overrides the default container title when collapsible
ref
adds an optional reference to the end of the title
float
float the outer container: left, right, none, or center (default)
width
overrides the default outer container width

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).
