Documentation
This template makes a T-chart with up to 6 rows (besides the header). The first row is mandatory, as is the left column of each row that's present.
Parameters
- left_heading - this is the heading over the left column
- right_heading heading over the right column
- L1 - data for the left column, row 1
- R1 - data for the right column, row 1
To generalize...
- Ln - data for the left column, row n
- Rn - data for the right column, row n
Example
| Fruit | Vegetables |
|---|---|
| Banana | Squash |
| Apple | Radish |
| Orange | Carrot |
| Grape | Eggplant |
| Lime | Zucchini |
| Blackberry | Olive |
Some of the coding for the template gets funky because you can't mix parser functions like {{#if:}} with vertical bars needed to separate table elements. So anywhere we have {{!}} is a place where we cannot have a vertical bar (but need one).
Bugs
The right column ends up with an extra blank line for every unused row. If I don't put a carriage return between between the {{#if:}} functions, that goes away, but the the |- row separators break. I've not figured a way around that yet.
Future changes
Might be able to make a row show up if either Ln or Rn are present by doing something like this:
{{#ifexpr: {{#len:{{{L2}}}}}|{{#len:{{{R2}}}}}|code for including the row|}}
