It is useful to create a link to a new page which has predefined content, defined by a template. The template for this new page may contain links to other templates. Structures of standard pages can be easily created.

[[[pagename?templatepage|displayname]]] 

The above syntax will:

• Create a link to a page, called pagename that does not yet exist. The link will be called displayname, and display in red.
• On clicking the link, the user will go to a new page. Click 'Create this page'.
• The content of the new page will be a copy of the templatepage.
• The new page can be edited in the usual way.
• The templatepage may contain other links of this type, so making it possible to create a standard set of pages.

For example:

[[[links?wiki:templates:links|links]]] 

Creates a new page, beneath the current page, and copies it's content from the page wiki:templates:links.

This enables content to be revealed when a user clicks on it.

Inline:

This is example ++text | with some of it only shown when you unfold it++. And after that 
the text just continues to flow in the same paragraph.

  • blue — blue colour scheme
  • red — red colour scheme
  • green — green colour scheme
  • orange — orange colour scheme
  • left — float the box left within the wiki page
  • right — float the box right within the wiki page

if no classes are specified the default styles will be used, that is square corners in a colour scheme based on the default Dokuwiki colour scheme.

• title text — text (including dokuwiki markup) displayed above the box contents, with distinct style.
• caption text — text (no markup allowed) displayed below the box contents, with distinct style.

The opening <box … > including the title must all appear on one line. The box contents can appear over as many lines as are needed.
