Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

Template:Ahnentafel is a family tree template that will handle an ahnentafel of up to 511 places (9 generations), but will also display between 2 and 8 generations. It is recommended to extend the chart to no more than 6 levels (63 nodes) to fit the content into prevalent desktop screen resolutions.

The template presents genealogical data in the form of a graphical ahnentafel ancestry tree (realized as an HTML table). The entries in the ahnentafel are given as numbered parameters to the template, and may contain arbitrary wikimarkup.

Usage

{{ahnentafel
|collapsible=yes
|collapsed=yes
|ref=
|float=
|align=
|boxstyle_1=
|boxstyle_2=
|boxstyle_3=
|boxstyle_4=
|boxstyle_5=
|1=
|2=
...
}}

The template accepts the following named parameters:

style

CSS style attributes to be applied to the entire table.

boxstyle

CSS style attributes to be applied to the boxes containing the entries.

border

Thickness of the borders around the boxes in pixels (default: 2).

boxstyle_1, boxstyle_2, ...

CSS style attributes to be applied to the boxes in a given column.

border_1, border_2, ...

Thickness of the borders around the boxes in a given column.

align

Alignment of the chart: left, right, center

headnotes

Adds optional text above the chart (most useful in collapsible mode)

footnotes

Adds optional text below the chart (most useful in collapsible mode)

Options for the collapsible outer container (if enabled)

collapsible

set to yes to make the table collapsible

collapsed

set to no to expand by default, and yes to collapse by default

title

overrides the default container title when collapsible

ref

adds an optional reference to the end of the title; use normal "ref" mark-up for a single footnote covering the whole table

float

float the outer container: left, right, none, or center (default)

width

overrides the default outer container width

The column-specific style attributes are included after (and thus override) the generic ones, which are included after the default styles and the border thickness specified by the border parameter(s).
