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

Intended for transclusion at the end of the documentation for each of the main Semantic markup templates, e.g. as part of a "See also" section such as:

===See also===
* [[Wikipedia:Accessibility]]
* [[Semantic HTML]]

{{Semantic markup templates}}

Initial visibility: currently defaults to collapsed

To set this template's initial visibility, the |state= parameter may be used:

|state=collapsed: {{Semantic markup templates|state=collapsed}} to show the template collapsed, i.e., hidden apart from its title bar
|state=expanded: {{Semantic markup templates|state=expanded}} to show the template expanded, i.e., fully visible
|state=autocollapse: {{Semantic markup templates|state=autocollapse}}
- shows the template collapsed to the title bar if there is a {{navbar}}, a {{sidebar}}, or some other table on the page with the collapsible attribute
- shows the template in its expanded state if there are no other collapsible items on the page

If the |state= parameter in the template on this page is not set, the template's initial visibility is taken from the |default= parameter in the Collapsible option template. For the template on this page, that currently evaluates to collapsed.
