Editing Module:Navbox/doc (section)

== Technical details ==
* The {{navbar|1=:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|mini=on}} links are produced by [[Template:Navbar]]. If you have a question about them, it is probably best to ask at [[Template talk:Navbar]].
* The 2px wide border between groups and lists is drawn using the border-left property of the list cell. Thus, if you wish to change the background color of the template (for example <code>bodystyle = background:purple;</code>), then you'll need to make the border-left-color match the background color (i.e. <code>liststyle = border-left-color: purple;</code>). If you wish to have a border around each list cell, then the 2px border between the list cells and group cells will disappear; you'll have to come up with your own solution.
* Adjacent navboxes have only a 1 pixel border between them. If you set the top or bottom margin of <code>style/bodystyle</code>, then this will not work.
* The default margin-left and margin-right of the outer navbox table are set to "auto;". If you wish to use navbox as a float, you need to manually set the margin-left and margin-right values, because the auto margins interfere with the float option. For example, add the following code to use the navbox as a float:
** <code>bodystyle = width: 22em; float: right; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 0;</code>
* Navbox templates, including this one, are a major contributor to the [[WP:PEIS|post-expand include size]] of pages, and can cause pages to exceed the limit and not render correctly. There are a few ways to mitigate this.
** {{tlx|{{ROOTPAGENAME}}}} can be replaced with {{mlx|Navbox|navbox}}, which approximately halves the include size.
** Nesting other templates inside of a navbox can cause the include size increase by a factor of two or more. Using the in-line child syntax documented at [[#Child navboxes]] mitigates this, but only for plain Navboxes, Navboxes with columns, and Navboxes with collapsible groups (not other types of navboxes).

=== Copying to other projects or wikis ===
If you are trying to copy {{tlf|Navbox}} to your local wiki, there are several other things that must be installed or copied over as well:
* The [[mw:Extension:Scribunto|Scribunto]] and [[:mw:Extension:TemplateStyles|TemplateStyles]] extensions must be installed.
* [[Module:Navbox]] and its module and TemplateStyles dependencies, listed at [[Module:Navbox/doc]]
* Optionally, the <code>Add support to mw-collapsible for autocollapse, innercollapse and outercollapse</code> script from [[MediaWiki:Common.js]] may be copied, if autocollapsing is desired.
