Editing Template:Navbox/doc (section)

=== Multiple show/hides in a single container ===
{{main|Template:Navbox with collapsible groups}}

The example below is generated using a regular navbox for the main container, then its list1, list2, and list3 parameters each contain the <code>child</code> keyword. The view (v), talk (t), edit (e) navbar links are hidden automatically because the "child" or "subgroup" keyword is used, so using <code>navbar = plain</code> for each of them is not necessary. The code <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>N_state = {{#ifeq:{{{selected|}}|ABBREVIATION|uncollapsed|{{{stateN|collapsed}}}}}</syntaxhighlight> is used to replicate the <syntaxhighlight lang="wikitext" inline>abbrN = ABBREVIATION</syntaxhighlight> functionality of {{tl|Navbox with collapsible groups}}.
