Template:Tree list/doc

This family of templates can be used to create a properly structured and accessible tree. This can be used to display family trees, succession to thrones, etc. They comprise:

Syntax

Start and finish of the tree

The tree must include a start and finish, using the templates {{Tree list}} and {{Tree list/end}} respectively. The tree is essentially a series of nested lists built with the asterisk *.

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">

  • Here goes the content of the tree using asterisks.

</syntaxhighlight>

The branches of the tree

Each branch of the tree is built using nested lists: <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">

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

</syntaxhighlight> produces

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

Unlabelled branches

An unlabelled branch may be formed by using the {{Tree list/branching}} template.

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">

  • 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

</syntaxhighlight>

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

Collapse

To collapse a tree place {{Hidden begin}} before {{Tree list}} and enclose {{Tree list/end}} with {{Hidden end}}. {{Hidden begin}} default to just a show link on the right, but it takes a number of parameters see the template's documentation. In this case: 

|border=1px  #aaa solid—a solid border around the tree
|title=Demonstration tree—a suitable name for the tree
|ta1=center – center the title= name

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">

Demonstration tree
  • 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

</syntaxhighlight>

Demonstration tree
  • 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

If the parameter |expanded=on is added to {{hidden begin}} then the box will be drawn expanded rather than the default, which is to collapse the tree.

Examples

A family tree

Code : <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">

A family tree (descendants of Henry VII of England)

</syntaxhighlight>

which gives

A family tree (descendants of Henry VII of England)

An ancestry tree

Ahnentafel style trees can be can be displayed using this template, but usually for fewer than six generations the customised ahnentafel templates are clearer (see Template:Ahnentafel/doc). There is also an ahnentafel template ({{Ahnentafel-tree}}), that is based on this one, that makes construction this tree simpler.

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">

Ancestry tree of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge

</syntaxhighlight>

Ancestry tree of Prince William, Duke of Cambridge

A cladogram

<syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext">

A cladogram

</syntaxhighlight>

A cladogram

  • {{Ahnentafel}}—This template takes genealogical data in the form of an ahnentafel and presents it as a graphical ancestry tree
  • {{ahnentafel-tree}} uses {{Tree list}} and will handle up to an ahnentafel of 511 places (9 generations), but will also display as little as one generation.
