Template:Navbox long/doc

This template is designed as an alternative to {{Navbox}} when more than 20 groups/lists are needed. Please only use this template when more than 20 groups are necessary (and if you really need that many groups, please first consider if the template you are working on is too large to be useful). This template supports a maximum of 38 groups/lists.

Blank template

{{Navbox long
|name = 
|title = 
|image = 
|above = 

|groupstyle = width:10em; <!-- Adjust as needed -->
|liststyle = width:auto;

|group1 = 
|list1  = 

|group2 = 
|list2  = 
...
|group38 = 
|list38  = 

|below = 
}}

Parameters

This template employs all of the same parameters as {{Navbox}}. Please see the documentation there for more complete descriptions. In fact, the only differences between this template and {{Navbox}} are as follows:

• There is a maximum of 38 groups/lists instead of the 20 in {{Navbox}}.
• You must manually specify the group width for all groups to align properly. Do this by adding the following two parameters: groupstyle = width:XXXem; where "XXX" is the desired width and liststyle = width:auto;.
• The group padding defaults to 0.75em on the left/right, and can only be changed with the grouppadding parameter. This is done to prevent the Internet Explorer box model bug from effecting the width of groups. Most users can ignore this fact; it is listed here for advanced technical support.

Everything else is exactly the same as {{Navbox}}.

Examples

The following example shows how to get up to 38 groups/lists. Edit the section to view the code.
