Template:Hide

[show][hide]

{{{1}}}

Purpose

This template allows easy hiding of text and other content.

Usage

To use this template, use either the standard format     {{Hide| content }} or the named parameter format:

{{Hide
|show=
|hide=
|content=
}}

• show — This specifies the text of the link that shows the content that is initially hidden. (Optional - [show])
• hide — This specifies the text of the link that switches the content back to being hidden. (Optional - [hide])
• content — This specifies the content you want to be able to hide (Optional )

Advanced Usage

If this isn't enough, the template can be used in parts instead, for more flexible use within tables and div boxes.
For advanced usage, use this code:

{{hide|~button|show=[show]|hide=[hide]}}
{{hide|~content|content=|style=}}

The button can be placed anywhere before {{hide|~begin}}. It will only affect the next instance of {{hide|~begin}}. Future instances require another button. The style parameter is to enter any styling directly in to the div for the content, in addition to any other styling you use outside of it. You can delete the show and hide parameters if you do not wish to change them from their defaults.

Example

To hide some text, use the following:

{{Hide|This is hidden text.}}

This results in:

[show][hide]

This is hidden text.

Alternatively:

{{Hide|content=This is hidden text.}}

This results in:

[show][hide]

This is hidden text.

To change what the buttons say:

{{Hide|show=[Unearth hidden secrets]|hide=[I'm done looking]|content=This is hidden text.}}

This results in:

[Unearth hidden secrets][I'm done looking]

This is hidden text.
