NavBox brings the core functionality of the NavBox from Wikipedia (and MediaWiki) across to DokuWiki, allowing a clean and easy-to-use way of linking between related pages. It can be placed anywhere on the page at this point in time but it is intended to
This extension has not been updated in over 2 years. It may no longer be maintained or supported and may have compatibility issues.

The plugin reads each line as a new tag / parameter combination. Only insert a new line if you intend on utilising a new tag.
| Syntax Tag | Example Usage | Result |
|---|---|---|
<navbox> | Initiates the NavBox Container. | |
# | # My NavBox | Sets the title of the NavBox, at the top. |
## | ## Group 1 Title | Sets the title of a group of links, in the left column. |
### | ### SubGroup A Title or ### !ns | Sets the title of a subgroup. Note: This must follow either a Group Title Tag (##) or a list of links and must also have a list of links following (or one of the Advanced Tags), otherwise it will not form a proper group. |
[[links]] | [[link1|Links]][[another|More]] | A list of links, which can be simply listed one after the other (as per example), or separated by , or ; |
</navbox> | The closing tag for the container. |
| Code Sample | Output |
|---|---|
<navbox> # Animals ## Birds ### Carnivorous Birds [[falcon]],[[eagle]],[[vulture]] ### Little Birds [[hummingbird]],[[canary]] </navbox> |  |
Using an advanced tag will create it's own Group (equivalent of the ## tag) unless it is specified as a Sub Group (preceeded by the ### tag). It will close the previously created group, and after the Advanced Tag a new group will need to be created for further links.
Example:
<navbox> # Title ## Group 1 [[some links]] !ns <<< This creates a new Group ## Group 3 ### SubGroup 1 [[sub links]] ### !ns <<< This creates a Sub Group inside Group 3 after SubGroup 1 </navbox>
Creates a list of links in the current namespace, automatically creates the group name based on the lowest level of the current namespace. For example, if you are building the NavBox on animals:birds:carnivorous:start it will name the group «Carnivorous». There are various modifiers that can be used below.
| Modifier | Example | Result |
|---|---|---|
### | ### !ns | This is combined with the Sub Group tag, which indicates that the listing should be contained in the previously created group. This can be combined with the below modifiers as well. |
+n | !ns+n [[other:namespace]] | This will force the plugin to list all pages contained in the specified namespace. |
+t | !ns+t Different Title | This will override the automatically created title (or subgroup title) for the listing. |
+nt | !ns+nt [[other:namespace|Custom Title]] | Performs both actions of the +n and +t modifiers. |
