Usage

edit

TabberNeue uses the exact same syntax as Tabber.

Simple tabbers

edit

Tabs are created with tabName=tabBody, and separated by |-|. You can use any wikitext within your tabs, including templates and images.

<tabber>
|-|First Tab Title=
First tab content goes here.
|-|Second Tab Title=
Second tab content goes here.
|-|Third Tab Title=
Third tab content goes here.
</tabber>

Nested tabbers

edit

Nested tabbers need to be written as parser functions. Instead of the <tabber/> tags, they are wrapped with {{#tag:tabber|}} and separated by {{!}}-{{!}}. It is useful when creating nested tabber.

<tabber>
|-| First Tab Title =
{{#tag:tabber
| Tab Title A = Tab content A goes here.
{{!}}-{{!}} Tab Title B = Tab content B goes here.
{{!}}-{{!}} Tab Title C = Tab content C goes here.
}}
|-| Second Tab Title =
{{#tag:tabber
| Tab Title D = Tab content D goes here.
{{!}}-{{!}} Tab Title E = Tab content E goes here.
{{!}}-{{!}} Tab Title F = Tab content F goes here.
}}
|-| Third Tab Title =
{{#tag:tabber
| Tab Title G = Tab content G goes here.
{{!}}-{{!}} Tab Title H = Tab content H goes here.
{{!}}-{{!}} Tab Title I = Tab content I goes here.
}}
</tabber>

Transclusion

edit

With the transclusion mode, the syntax is different, and it's more similar to <gallery> syntax.

The contents of the page of the first tab will be transcluded. Other tabs will be transcluded on-demand with AJAX, performing a request to the MediaWiki api. Once requested, they won't be fetched again until the page is reloaded. Note that Tabbers on the transcluded page will not be rendered.

Tabs are created with pageName|tabName, and separated by a new line.

<tabbertransclude>
First Page Name|First Tab Title
Second Page Name|Second Tab Title
Third Page Name|Third Tab Title
</tabbertransclude>
