Editing Template:Navbox/doc (section)

=== 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).
