Template:Node list/doc

This is the documentation page for Template:Node list.

When it is viewed directly, links using variables may appear broken; do not replace these with hardcoded page names or URLs.

Create a node list, where each entry has an icon and links to the corresponding page.

Usage

This template can be used in several distinct ways.

Parameter	Description
elements	One or more elements using Template:node list/entry.
1..50	Node name, which is also used for the image file name ([[File:name.png]]) and page link ([[name]]).

Simple form

The simple form only works for nodes whose file name, display name and page name are all the same. For example, the "Build Array" node must have a corresponding File:Build Array.png file and a Build Array page. If this is not the case, the elemental form must be used.

Elements form

The elements form can be used when the simple form does not work (e.g., because the node name is ambiguous). In this case, the "entries" parameter is used to specify the nodes explicitly using the Template:node list/entry template.

The elements form can also be used for adding more advanced entries in the form of HTML table rows:

<tr><td>icon field</td><td>name field</td></tr>

or using the #tag parser function.

Examples

Simple form

{{node list
|Build Array
|Sort 1D Array
}}

Icon	Name
	Build Array
	Sort 1D Array

Entries form with named parameters

{{node list|entries=
{{node list/entry|icon=Build Array.png|link=Build Array function|name=Build Array}}
{{node list/entry|icon=Sort 1D Array.png|link=Sort 1D Array function|name=Sort 1D Array}}
}}

Icon	Name
	Build Array
	Sort 1D Array

Entries form with unnamed parameters (simplified entries form)

{{node list|entries=
{{node list/entry|Build Array.png|Build Array function|Build Array}}
{{node list/entry|Sort 1D Array.png|Sort 1D Array function|Sort 1D Array}}
}}

Icon	Name
	Build Array
	Sort 1D Array

Combination of simple form and simplified entries form

{{node list
|entries={{node list/entry|Build Array.png|Build Array function|Build Array}}
|Sort 1D Array
}}

Icon	Name
	Build Array
	Sort 1D Array

Manual form with HTML table rows

{{node list|entries=
<tr><td>[[File:Build Array.png|Build Array]]</td><td>[[Build Array function|Build Array]]</td></tr>
<tr><td>[[File:Sort 1D Array.png|Sort 1D Array]]</td><td>[[Sort 1D Array function|Sort 1D Array]]</td></tr>
}}

Icon	Name
	Build Array
	Sort 1D Array

Manual form using the #tag parser function

{{node list|entries=
{{#tag:tr|{{#tag:td|[[File:Build Array.png|Build Array]]}}{{#tag:td|[[Build Array function|Build Array]]}}}}
{{#tag:tr|{{#tag:td|[[File:Sort 1D Array.png|Sort 1D Array]]}}{{#tag:td|[[Sort 1D Array function|Sort 1D Array]]}}}}
}}

Icon	Name
	Build Array
	Sort 1D Array
