Template:ChineseWebNovels/doc

Description
This is a new version of Template:ChineseNovels, it uses external CSS, provided below, simply copy and paste it to the wiki's CSS file (for example: MediaWiki:Common.css), then you can alter the CSS to your liking. By default, the CSS uses fandom colors, unlike the original Template:ChineseNovels, which only uses hex colors that are close to the fandom colors. The original Template:ChineseNovels has one particular problem that I wanted to address in this template: the table collapses on the last tab section, which is unwanted. This template fixes that issue and doesn't use wikitext table syntax. Another problem was that importing the original template does not update changes made to the template, which is unwanted. So this template allows you to simply transclude it to the desired wiki while allowing you to change the look with external CSS. This means you don't need to export and import this template to alter the design of it.

Sorting rules
Please ignore an article (a, an, the), a conjunction (and or &), or prepositions (such as for, in, or of) except where they are used distinctively. Please adhere to the above sorting rules for titles.
 * For example, (The Legend of Futian) should be sorted to L and not T.
 * Or, (A Will Eternal) should be sorted to W and not A.

Don't leave empty new lines, and try to avoid whitespace at the end of each link. Keep it clean and alphabetically ordered to make it easy for other users to add and/or replace things. Don't delete content; you can use the talk page if you want to address deletions or any other kind of problem with the template. I will check it regularly.

CSS info
By default, this template has no inline CSS styles applied to it; you need to copy and paste the below CSS into your CSS file and alter it to your liking. It uses the classes  /   /   /. Note that  is only the containing , the actual content is addressed with the selector. To change the look of the tabber itself, you can create selectors, as shown in the CSS provided below. Please refer to Styling Help:Tabber for the CSS selectors needed to style the tabber components; using  will allow you to only style the tabber of this template without affecting other instances of tabber on the wiki.

Usage
Simply paste  to the bottom of your main page to show the template and don't forget to copy the CSS below into your Common.css or other CSS file you would like it to be.

Other
Originally, I wanted to provide parameters to this template, but since it's most likely only used once on the front or main page of a wiki and requires you to have access to the CSS files to set it up correctly anyway, it's rather overkill. However, please feel free to let me know if you would like to have parameters for this template to alter its looks. This would allow anyone, even non-admins, to simply change the look of the template with parameters.

Like for example:.

CSS
The CSS below is provided with comments, you can remove them if you don't want them in your CSS file, they are only to help the not so versed in CSS to have an overview of what exactly each rule does.

CSS for dot separators
To have simple links with dot separators like the original template has, here is what you need to do. It's pretty simple and demonstrates that you can customize this template to your liking with some easy CSS changes. All you need to do is replace the margin declaration*  of this selector , then remove and replace   selecotor* and rule* with the one shown in the example below. Then simply add the whole rule for this selector. Lastly, remove this entire rule, this will then use the default link highlight setting you have set for the wiki, and you're done.

Rule* means selector* plus declaration*. Declarations are the properties and values, and selectors are the classes they apply to; all together, they are called a rule.
