This family of templates can be used to create a properly structured and accessible tree with each element on its own line. This can be used to display family trees, succession to thrones, etc. They comprise:

Indentation levels are denoted by asterisks.

Syntax

Start and finish of the tree

The outermost level of the tree is denoted by start and finish markers, using the templates {{Tree list}} and {{Tree list/end}} respectively. The tree is essentially a series of nested lists built with the asterisks ("*") between these two markers. 

{{Tree list}}
* Content of the tree spanning multiple lines. Each line is preceded by one or more 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}} thus: 

{{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
