Template:LCARS Toggle

From 118Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Creates a toggle-able LCARS menu!

NOTE: To include things like tables and any sort of formatting that uses | characters within the content section of the template, substitute any | characters with {{!}}, and the code should work just fine.

The "Expand Indicator" variable allows one to set any unicode symbol as a marker to "click here". Hopefully this will increase the salience of the LCARS toggle button! Some characters that might work include: ˅, ⌄, ↕, ⇕, ⇳, ☟, ⬍, ⭥, 𝅎, 𝅏, 🡙 (but you can use whatever you want).

Example

{{LCARS Toggle
|Toggle Name = SL
|Side = Left
|Color = steelblue
|Title = Shore Leave!
|Expand Indicator = ⮟
|Content = This is some writing, blarg.
}}

which gives you

Shore Leave! ⮟

This is some writing, blarg.

Different Sides! You can also switch the side that the text is on!

Shore Leave! ⮟

This is some writing, blarg.

Header Optionality! If you want this to act as a header (aka: show up in the TOC) there is a toggle to turn that on - it is off by default. If chosen, you must specify the header level that it will appear as in the TOC (I recommend 2, and 3 for sub-headers).

{{LCARS Toggle
|Toggle Name = SH
|Side = Right
|Color = steelblue
|Title = Woah, a header!
|Expand Indicator = ⮟
|Header = Yes
|Header Level = 2
|Content = This is some writing, blarg.
}}

Woah, a header!

Woah, a header! ⮟

This is some writing, blarg.

Here's an example of using header level 3.

This should be a sub-heading :)

This should be a sub-heading :) ⮟

This is some writing, blarg.
