Template:Tree list/doc

This family of templates can be used to create a properly structured and accessible tree. This can be used to display family trees, succession to thrones, etc. They comprise:


 * Tree list
 * Tree list/end
 * Tree list/branching

Start and finish of the tree
The tree must include a start and finish, using the templates Tree list and Tree list/end respectively. The tree is essentially a series of nested lists built with the asterisk *.


 * Here goes the content of the tree using asterisks.

The branches of the tree
Each branch of the tree is built using nested lists: produces
 * A first level branch
 * A second level branch
 * A third level branch


 * A first level branch
 * A second level branch
 * A third level branch

Unlabelled branches
An unlabelled branch may be formed by using the Tree list/branching template. produces the following:


 * A first level branch
 * A third level branch
 * Another third level branch
 * The final third level branch
 * A second level branch
 * A third level branch
 * The final third level branch
 * A third level branch
 * The final third level branch

Collapse
To collapse a tree place before  and enclose  with. default to just a show link on the right, but it takes a number of parameters see the template's documentation. In this case: |border=1px #aaa solid — a solid border around the tree |title=Demonstration tree — a suitable name for the tree |ta1=center – center the title= name


 * A first level branch
 * A third level branch
 * Another third level branch
 * The final third level branch
 * A second level branch
 * A third level branch
 * The final third level branch
 * A third level branch
 * The final third level branch

If the parameter  is added to  then the box will be drawn expanded rather than the default, which is to collapse the tree.

An ancestry tree
Ahnentael style trees can be can be displayed using this template, but usually for less than 6 generations the customised Ahnentafel templates are clearer (see Template:Ahnentafel/doc). There is also an ahnentafel template (Ahnentafel-tree), that is based on this one, that makes construction this tree simpler.

A cladogram

 * Tetrapoda
 * Many extinct groups such as the Eucritta
 * Lissamphibia Whose ancestors of the current amphibians
 * Many extinct groups reminiscent of amphibians with more or less pronounced reptilian characteristics such as Eoherpetontidae, the Embolomeri, the Tokosauridae, Chroniosuchidae, Gephyrostegidae, Solenodonsauridae, Seymouriamorpha, Westlothiana, Lepospondyli
 * Cotylosauria
 * Amniota, Originally all "Reptilian"
 * Other extinct sibling taxa like Diadectomorpha or Tseajaiidae are close enough to reptiles
