  • If headings given backgrounds, use contentstyle=padding-top:0.2em;padding-bottom[0.6 – 0.8]em; otherwise content starts too close to background.
  • Use display:block;margin-bottom:N; in a Sidebar's titlestyle to add gap between title and first heading's background.
  • ((subsidebar bodystyle)) → ((subinfobox bodystyle)) :
clear:none;float:none;width:100%;font-size:100%;margin:0;
border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:0;border:none
  • For a subsidebar[/infobox?] as content/listN,
  • add |content/listNstyle = padding-bottom:0;
  • and use: ((Sidebar |child |navbar=off
  • |bodystyle=((subsidebar bodystyle)) …))
