Editing Template:Navbox/doc (section)

== Child navboxes ==

It is possible to place multiple navboxes within a single border with the use of the ''border'' parameter, or by specifying the first parameter to be "child". The basic code for doing this is as follows (which adds a subgroup for the first group/list area):

<pre style="overflow: auto;">
{{Navbox
| name = {{subst:PAGENAME}}
| title = Title

| group1 = [optional]
| list1  = {{Navbox|child
   ...child navbox parameters...
 }}

...
}}
</pre>

=== Subgroups example ===
{{main|Template:Navbox subgroup}}

This example shows how subgroups can be used. It is recommended that one use {{t|Navbox subgroup}}, but the same result can be reached by using {{t|Navbox}} with <code>border = child</code> or the first unnamed parameter set to <code>child</code>. The ''evenodd'' parameter is used to reverse striping in some of the subgroups in order to get all of the stripes to line up properly. To remove the striping altogether, you can set <code>liststyle = background:transparent;</code> in each of the navboxes.

{{Navbox
| name = Navbox/doc
| image = [[File:Blue dragon.jpg|100px|link=|alt=]]
| state = uncollapsed
| title = Multiple subgroup example
| above = Above
| below = Below
| group1 = Group1
| list1  = List1
| group2 = Group2
| list2  =
 {{Navbox|child
  | evenodd = swap
  | group1 = Group2.1
  | list1  = List1
  | group2 = Group2.2
  | list2  = List2
  | group3 = Group2.3
  | list3  = List3
 }}
| group3 = Group3
| list3 = List3
| group4 = Group4
| list4 =
 {{Navbox|child
  | evenodd = swap
  | group1 = Group4.1
  | list1  = List1
  | group2 = Group4.2
  | list2  = List2
  | group3 = Group4.3
  | list3  = List3
 }}
}}

=== Multiple show/hides in a single container ===
{{main|Template:Navbox with collapsible groups}}

The example below is generated using a regular navbox for the main container, then its list1, list2, and list3 parameters each contain another navbox, with <code>1 = child</code> set. The view (v), discuss (d), edit (e) navbar links are hidden using <code>navbar = plain</code> for each of them, or could be suppresed by just leaving out the ''name'' parameter (child navboxes do not require the name parameter to be set, unlike regular navboxes).
