Template:TOC row 3-c

Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Usage

These templates are designed to aid in producing tables of contents (TOCs) using a standardised set of table sections. They are begun with a {{TOC begin}} and are ended with {{TOC end}}.

The aim of these templates is to divorce the TOC from the underlying code. If you have a new circumstance to format, perhaps the best option is to make a new template, rather than hack an old one to fit.

TOC begin

Parameters

• align: alignment of the table on the page, defaults to central (optional)
• width: table width (optional, any CSS units), | width = 100%
• max-width: table max-width (optional, any CSS units), | max-width = 35em
• sc: applies small-caps to the entire table (optional), | sc = yes
• asc: applies all-small-caps to the entire table (optional), | asc = yes
• style: applies any other free-form style to the entire table (optional/no default), | style = line-height:1
• plus: allows addition of separate code (optional), e.g. to set table attributes | plus = id {{=}} "example-table" (see mw:Help:Extension:ParserFunctions#Raw_equal_signs)
• caption: Add a table caption

Naming convention

Templates are named by the colspan of their cells (in order) and the salient feature of any cells that are not "normal".

For example, a row of three single cells is {{TOC row 1-1-1}}, and a row with a colspan-2 cell followed by a single cell is {{TOC row 2-1}}. If a cell has no colspan but a salient feature, the "1" from that cell is omitted: {{TOC row 1-out-1}}

Parameters

• The positional parameters 1, 2, etc, contain the contents of the first, second, etc. table cells.
• most row templates have an optional class parameter that can be used to target additional Page styles CSS to that row.
  • The class wst-toc-aux formats the row with a green background to indicate that the row is a Wikisource addition, e.g. for a preface that wasn't in the original TOC.

Special cases

• {{TOC row l}}: a single cell, text left-aligned, with a colspan given in the first parameter, and contents in the second.
• {{TOC row c}}: a single cell, text centred, with a colspan given in the first parameter, and contents in the second.
• {{TOC row r}}: a single cell, text right-aligned, with a colspan given in the first parameter, and contents in the second.

3-column tables

3-column tables are perhaps the most common type. The "normal" condition is for the first and last columns to be right-aligned, and the middle column to be left aligned.

• {{TOC row 1-1-1}}: three single cells, right-left-right aligned, respectively
• {{TOC row 2-1}}: a colspan=2 cell and a normal cell. Left and right aligned respectively.

Hanging indents

• {{TOC row 1-out-1}}: three single cells, but the middle cell has a {{hanging indent}} applied.
• {{TOC row 2out-1}}: same as "2-1", but the first cell has a hanging indent.
• {{TOC row 1-dot-1}}: same as "1-out-1", but the middle cell also has a dot-leader
  • Optional: use symbol to set dot character(s) and spaces to set number of spaces (default: one dot and 5 spaces)
• {{TOC row 2dot-1}}: same as "2out-1", but the first cell is the "main" cell and has a dot-leader appended.

Different alignment of the main cell

• {{TOC row 1-r-1}}: three single cells, left-right-right aligned, respectively.
• {{TOC row 1-c-1}}: three single cells, left-center-right aligned, respectively.

4-column tables

The "normal" condition is for the first, second and last columns to be right-aligned, and the third column to be left aligned. The third column is usually (not always) the large "main" cell.

• {{TOC row 1-1-1-1}}
• {{TOC row 2-1-1}}
• {{TOC row 1-2-1}}
• {{TOC row 1-2dot-1}}
• {{TOC row 1-2out-1}}
• {{TOC row 3-1}}
• {{TOC row 1-1-dot-1}}
• {{TOC row 3dot-1}}
• {{TOC row 2dot-1-1}} (uses the first, double, column as the main cell, so it's usually not compatible with rows that have "short" initial cells)
• {{TOC row 2dot-dot-1}}

Ragged-row tables

Some works have TOCs which have a variably-sized right column, with the left column of other rows sometimes overlapping it. This is often found in periodicals where multiple parts of a serial work are listed on the same line.

• {{TOC row ragged}}:
  • 1 is the left-aligned main content
  • 2 is the right "column".
  • colspan is the colspan of the whole row to allow it to work with other row templates. Default is 3 (so it will work by default with {{TOC row 1-1-1}}, for example).
  • margin is the size of the inset of the entry from left. Default is 2em.
  • indent is the size of the overhang of the first line. Default is 2em.

Grimm's Ghost, Letter X.

38, XI. 199, XII. 365

If a single ragged entry spans multiple pages, the templates {{TOC row ragged/s}} and {{TOC row ragged/e}} should be used, with the page numbers specified as parameter 1 of {{TOC row ragged/e}}. The margin parameters of {{TOC row ragged/e}} and {{TOC row ragged/s}} should be the same.

• {{TOC row dotragged}}: dotted version

Auxiliary (added) content

Sometimes, the original TOC does not include content such as a preface. This has to be linked to somewhere on the work's main page so that the exporter can pick it up and include it in the output. The wst-toc-aux class allows you to visually (and semantically) mark any row as "auxiliary content". You may wish to add text to explain this clearly.

Example: Marking auxiliary content

{{TOC begin|width=35em}}
|+ CONTENTS
{{TOC row 2-1|class=wst-toc-aux|Preface {{Smaller|(not in original TOC)}}}}
{{TOC row 2-1|Chapter 1 | 1}}
{{TOC row 2-1|...}}
{{TOC end}}
}}

CONTENTS

Preface (not in original TOC)
Chapter 1		1
...

Page breaking

If a table is broken across multiple pages, as is common for long TOCs, you need to add a {{nop}} to the top of every page body, to prevent the transclusion running the last line of the previous page into the first line of that page. You also need to put a {{TOC begin}} in the header of the page to make it render properly in the Page: namespace, and you should close the table in the footer of every page except the last:

First page body

{{TOC begin}}
{{TOC row.....}}

First page footer

{{TOC end}}

Middle page header

{{TOC begin}}

Middle pages body

{{nop}}
{{TOC row.......}}
{{TOC row.......}}

Middle pages footer

{{TOC end}}

Last page header

{{TOC begin}}

Last page body

{{nop}}
{{TOC row....}}
{{TOC end}}

Exporting

These templates should export well:

• They produce a single contiguous table, which means alignment should be maintained even in simple HTML engines (unlike, for example, {{TOCstyle}})
• The CSS is designed to enable reasonably responsive design compared to "minimally-styled" tables. For example:
  • A max-width:100%; is applied to prevent the table extending off the right of a narrow page.
  • Vertical alignments are set to avoid "middle-floating" cells when one cell wraps. Many TOCs will start wrapping on Mobile or e-reader screens when they do not on the desktop web interface.
  • Text wrapping is disabled by default for the "small" cells: some engines will attempt to hyphenate longer numbers like "1234" or "xxxviii" otherwise. This may happen anyway on some devices.

Dot-leaders are disabled on export, as in the other dot-leader templates, because no known e-reader engine displays anything other than a field of dots. However, the table will otherwise export correctly.

Tracking

Some common issues are tracked by special categories:

• Category:TOC begin usage with errors: when the style parameter contains quotes (this is likely a mistake)
• Category:TOC begin usage with widths in px or percent: setting width in units of percent or px is likely to be better expressed in a text-relative unit like em (see also H:PXWIDTH)
