Indentable and collapsable text and code snippets in MediaWiki

Is it possible to define indentable and collapsable blocks of text or code (e.g. formatted with Syntax Highlight Geshi) in MediaWiki?

I have seen collapsable tables and lists in Wikipedia, and would like to apply the same concept to paragraphs and code snippets.

Thanks!

Solution

  • Yes, you will need to have ToggleDisplay and SyntaxHighlight GeSHi installed.

    Then on your page add code like this (example for C++):

    <toggledisplay showtext="this is the show text">
<syntaxhighlight lang="cpp">
 <Put the code here>
</syntaxhighlight>
</toggledisplay>
