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

Usage

The template is a navigation box, to be placed as a footer. Set first parameter to IPA, consonants, or vowels to expand one of the rows by default, e.g. ((IPA navigation|consonants)).

Collapsing

Initial visibility: currently defaults to autocollapse

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

|state=collapsed: ((IPA navigation|state=collapsed)) to show the template collapsed, i.e., hidden apart from its title bar
|state=expanded: ((IPA navigation|state=expanded)) to show the template expanded, i.e., fully visible
|state=autocollapse: ((IPA navigation|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 autocollapse.
