Template:Collapse top/doc

The Collapse template is used for placing collapse boxes around discussions. It is a two-part template, used in conjunction with Collapse bottom (cob).

This template should only be used in accordance with the refactoring guideline; it should never be used to to end a discussion over the objections of other editors, except in cases of unambiguous disruptive editing.

Usage
Place Collapse top and Collapse bottom arounf the text to be collapsed. example:

produces

Parameters
This template takes the following parameters, all of which are optional


 * positional parameter 1, named parameter 'title': These parameters give the main title of collapsed box, which occurs on the same line as the show link and is always visible. It defaults to 'Extended content'.
 * warning: If this parameter evaluates to true (i.e. is not 0, false, or empty) it will display a default warning line under the main title which reads 'The following is an archived debate. Please do not modify it. '
 * positional parameter 2: This is optional warning-line text. It will override the standard warning line above, and obviate the need for setting the 'warning' parameter.
 * 'expand': If this parameter evaluates to true (i.e. is not 0, false, or empty) it will leave the material uncollapsed with the border and coloring. Default is to collapse the material.
 * 'bg': Sets the background color of the collapsed material. Defaults to #CFC - a pleasant green.
 * 'border': Sets the width of the border line on the collapsed material. defaults to 1px.
 * 'padding': Sets the padding on the collapsed material in the colored area. defaults to 8 px
 * 'width': Sets the width of the overall template
 * 'align': in conjunction with "width" allows content to be aligned to edge of page (default = centre)

If an entire section is being archived, remove the section header and add it as the first parameter of the template. This keeps the section header from showing in the TOC.
