Template:WPMILHIST Infobox style/doc

The various primary and auxiliary infobox templates and navigation templates maintained by the Military history WikiProject are all coded to use a common set of styling characteristics. This is needed primarily because a number of the templates are designed to be stacked together to present the appearance of a continuous block; it is also beneficial for providing a consistent appearance to the entire set of articles within our scope.

The style is controlled by the WPMILHIST Infobox style template, which generates a number of different codes based on the parameter passed to it.


 *   – produces the CSS  and   parameters for an infobox at a width of 315 pixels.
 *   – produces the raw CSS  parameters for an infobox at a width of 315 pixels.
 *   – produces the raw CSS  parameters for an infobox (same as   but without  ).
 *   – produces the CSS  parameters for a horizontal header bar in an infobox.
 *   – produces the raw CSS  parameters for a horizontal header bar in an infobox.
 *   – produces the raw CSS  color attributes for a horizontal header bar in an infobox.
 *   – produces the CSS  parameters for a horizontal sub-header bar in an infobox.
 *   – produces the raw CSS  parameters for a horizontal sub-header bar in an infobox.
 *   – produces the CSS  parameters for a standard image & caption block with a bottom border.
 *   – produces the raw CSS  parameters for a standard image & caption block with a bottom border.
 *   – produces the CSS  parameters for a standard image & caption block without a bottom border; this is typically used when the image block is placed immediately above a header bar, or at the bottom of the infobox.
 *   – produces the raw CSS  parameters for a standard image & caption block without a bottom border; this is typically used when the image block is placed immediately above a header bar, or at the bottom of the infobox.
 *   – produces the raw CSS  attributes for a border between parts of the same infobox section.
 *   – produces the raw CSS  attributes for a border between different infobox sections.
 *   – produces the raw CSS  attributes for a collapsible navigation template at a width of 315 pixels.
 *   – produces the raw CSS  attributes for a collapsible navigation template (same as   but at a width of 305 pixels and without  ).
 *   – produces the raw CSS  attributes for a full-width collapsible navigation template.
 *   – produces the raw CSS  attributes for the header bar in a collapsible navigation template.
 *   – produces the raw CSS  attributes for the header bar in a full-width collapsible navigation template.
 *   – produces the raw CSS  attributes for a row label in a collapsible navigation template.

A sample template using some of these options can be seen at right. From the top, it includes:
 * 1) The main   in a table heading cell.
 * 2) A   in a normal table cell.
 * 3) An.
 * 4) Two normal fields with labels.
 * 5) A secondary   in a heading cell.
 * 6) A pair of cells divided by an.
 * 7) A cell with a   at the top.
 * 8) Another secondary   in a heading cell.
 * 9) An.

More sophisticated samples of the code can be found by examining the actual infoboxes used by the project.
