Module:NavboxGenerator

Not finished.

Overview

Create's a navbox from a json file for input where keys are a title div container, and value "Display" is the display text. Each title div container gets smaller and smaller the further it is in the json.

Parameters

Within each level of the json:

• <key> - Title to display in the div/container/box. Can wrap it in <span style="mystyle">key</span> for styling it.
• Style - Style for the div
• Display - Text to display below the div
• <Any other value> - Recursively calls for the contained layer, with <Any other value> as the new <key>

Examples

Needed changes

1. Style/Formatting made prettier 2. A way to have the json iterated in order; for some reason mw.loadJsonData doesn't load the keys in order they appear.

This is not used on any pages currently.
