Syntax

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 *.

{{Tree list}}
* Here goes the content of the tree using asterisks.
{{Tree list/end}}

The branches of the tree

Each branch of the tree is built using nested lists:

{{Tree list}}
* A first level branch
** A second level branch
*** A third level branch
{{Tree list/end}}

produces

  • A first level branch
    • A second level branch
      • A third level branch

Final branches

It will be noticed that the example above has a rouge link below the last entry. In order to display the final branches properly, it is necessary to use the template {{Tree list/final branch}} like so:

{{Tree list}}
* A first level branch
** A second level branch
*** A third level branch
*** Another third level branch
*** {{Tree list/final branch}} The final third level branch
** Another second level branch
** {{Tree list/final branch}} The final second level branch
{{Tree list/end}}

which produces

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

Unlabelled branches

An unlabelled branch may be formed by using the {{Tree list/branching}} template or, if it is the final branch, the {{Tree list/final branching}} template.

{{Tree list}}
* A first level branch
** {{Tree list/branching}}
*** A third level branch
*** Another third level branch
*** {{Tree list/final branch}} The final third level branch
** A second level branch
** {{Tree list/final branching}}                 <!--- This branch ends the second level --->
*** A third level branch
*** {{Tree list/final branch}} The final third level branch
{{Tree list/end}}

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
